Revised and updated 25th Anniversary Edition
It will make you want to form a band, it will make you angry, it will make
you laugh, and it will educate you. Gina Birch
Drawing on more than 270 original interviews with female artists and women
working behind the scenes in A, marketing, music publishing, and
production, SheBop presents a feminist history of women in popular music,
from 1920s blues to the present day. Talking to iconic artists from Eartha
Kitt and Nina Simone to Debbie Harry and Beyoncé, acclaimed author Lucy
OBrien charts how women have negotiated old boy power networks to be seen and
to get their music heard.
This revised edition updates that story through many fresh interviews and new
perspectives. Since She Bop was first
published in 1995, digital downloading has transformed the music landscape.
But has the issue of gender inequality changed too? In a new introduction and
closing chapter, OBrien celebrates the rise of unique women such as Lizzo and
Billie Eilish, who are bursting through and creating new possibilities for
female artists, while also looking at the struggles of artists like Kesha,
and wondering whether the pop industry has had its #MeToo moment yet.
- Published to celebrate the original books 25th anniversary and in a year
that also marks 50 years of Womens Liberation.
- This new She Bop will appeal to a huge cross-section of readers, from music
fans to the LGBT audience and
women of all generations.
