The first collection of criticism by a living female rock critic

Jessica Hopper ; foreword by Samantha Irby

Throughout her career, spanning more than two decades, Jessica Hopper, a revered and pioneering music critic, has examined women recording and producing music, in all genres, through an intersectional feminist lens. This book features oral histories of bands like Hole and Sleater Kinney, explodes the grunge-era mythologies of Nirvana and Courtney Love, and examines the rise of emo. The collection also includes profiles and reviews of some of the most-loved, and most-loathed, women artists making music today: Fiona Apple, Kacey Musgraves, M.I.A., Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey
