20th CENTURY ROCK AND ROLL:
WOMEN IN ROCK
By Dale Sherman
Rock and Roll is a man's game. Well . . . not entirely. In fact, over the last half-century some of the biggest names in Rock have been women. Male Rockers may have headlined more often, but women have given-and continue to give-Rock some of its best music.
WOMEN IN ROCK is an introductory guide to the history and music of the 50 most influential Women Rockers who have helped to shape, in one form or another, the entire world of Rock Music. From the earliest days to the '90s, WOMEN IN ROCK covers the spectrum...from Rockabilly to Alternative...from Teen Idol to Punk. But the book doesn't stop there. There is also additional information on the popular girl groups, the iconoclastic all-female bands, and the famous bands that aren't complete without that one particular woman as the "front man."
Each entry includes recommendations of studio albums, live albums and "best of" collections-all to help start a new fan on the road to understanding the performer and acquiring a collection of choice albums.
After all that, who could possibly say that Rock and Roll is just a man's game?
