Description
Women in Rock Memoirs vindicates the role of women in rock music.
The chapters examine memoirs written by women in rock from 2010 onwards to explore how the artists narrate their life experiences and difficulties they had to overcome, not only as musicians but as women.
The book includes memoirs written by both well-known and lesser-known artists and artists from both inside and outside of the Anglo-American sphere.
The essays by scholars from different research areas and countries around the world are divided into three parts according to the overall themes: Memory, Trauma, and Writing; Authenticity, Sexuality, and Sexism; and Aging, Performance, and the Image.
They explore the dynamics of memoir as a genre by discussing the similarities and differences between the women in rock and the choices they have made when writing their books.
As a whole, they help form a better understanding of today's possibilities and future challenges for women in rock music.
