lowkey irritated that this book is about women in rock music... but when referring to the feminist movement, they often refer to the 60s/70s and not the work done today. for a book written recently, don't you think that there should be more contemporary women rockstars who have something additional to say about the music industry? i'm finding it hard to believe that these women are the only "valid" female rockstars.
