Synopsis: A spirited retelling of rock history from the feminine perspective includes interviews, facts, lively personal anecdotes, and commentary on women's struggles in an industry long dominated by men and controlled by money. Original.

Review: An encyclopedic narrative of the role of women in rock and pop over the last four decades, from Big Mama Thornton, who topped the R&B charts with "Hound Dog" three years before Elvis, to the female musical powerhouses of the '90s. Compulsively readable and thoroughly entertaining, this is a spirited and much-needed retelling of rock history which has tended to treat women peripherally at best. And unlike most rock journalists, Gaar knows how to do research, and how to both tell a long story with attention to detail and keep readers' attention for a long time.
