Description/Abstract:

This edition is a major revision of an important book which changed the way women are written about in music. Drawing on more than 250 interviews, the author covers everything from ragtime and vaudeville to punk and hip-hop - including Ella Fitzgerald, Madonna, Billie Holliday, Whitney Houston, Dusty Springfield, Beyonce, and others. A new chapter covers female musical performers of the 20th century - such as Adele, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga and Rihanna - and the ways in which the internet and digital culture have reconfigured the music industry for women.
