An awesome book about some of the women who've shaped the punk and indie scenes! Covers so many badass ladies: Patti Smith, Excene Cervenka, Penelope Houston, Mia Zapata, and Kim Gordon. There are 35 chapters, each devoted to a woman, or group of women i.e the Raincoats who shaped the rock world. There's even a chapter devoted to newer acts on the scene, such Erase Errata, The Gossip, Peaches, and Le Tigre. Maria Raha has written a book equal parts feminism, history, criticism, and punk. Finally, a book paying tribute to all the wonderful women who play loud and fast!
