Description:

Reading the table of contents of this collection of 40 interviews with female musicians is like, as the song says, a trip down memory lane. About half the subjects--Cris Williamson, June Millington, Linda Tillery, and Robin Flower among them--were part of the Olivia Records scene; they explain why they needed to invent "women's music" in the 1970s. Other musicians, such as Phranc, Ani DiFranco, and Laura Love, acknowledge their debt to their feminist foremothers, while women who rock with men, such as Moe Tucker, former Velvet Underground drummer, and Kristin Hersh, the front woman for Throwing Muses, discuss how mainstream music has been affected by increased numbers of women in the industry.
