Amazon.com Review
Rock She Wrote is a remarkably diverse collection of 62 articles, scholarly essays and personal journal excerpts by women about rock, pop, and rap, with contributions from columnists, academics, and the musicians themselves, including Marianne Faithful, Patti Smith, Kim Gordon, and Donna Dresch. Don't buy this--or, alternatively, dismiss it--thinking that it deals solely with the "women in rock" "issue." Do buy it because this is a great collection of music journalism that will be central in breaking down barriers that made any of us--men or women--think that it ever was an issue.
