Sommario/riassunto

Women Singer-Songwriters in Rock provides an overview of the women's singer-songwriter movement during the 1990's with detailed analyses of the music of Alanis Morissette, PJ Harvey, Courtney Love, Liz Phair, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, and Sheryl Crow. The book focuses on the exploration of women's issues within the music, examining how the music's feminist content was able to filter into the popular culture.
