The Lost Women of Rock Music: Female Musicians of the Punk Era (Studies in Popular Music) Paperback – Illustrated, 1 April 2012

I actually was at the book launch for this and have just got around to buying it! I'm in it somewhere so I'll read it from cover to cover!

A comprehensive, well researched and eminently readable exploration of women in music in the 1970s and 1980s. A must for music lovers, ageing punks and especially for those women who paved the way for women to be regarded properly as musicians..not just eye candy backing singers

An excellent thoughtful and enjoyable look at a fantastically creative moment in British music and the role which women played in it. A timely read for #Punk40. Buy it.

I don't write reviews anymore , because who cares about my opinion anyway? But I have to say something about this work. Lost women in rock is an excellent book about punk rock history and the bands that got lost in its archives. I always had a fondness for the slits, x ray specks, raincoats and many others that cover the late 70s and early 80s time period in Britain. RIP Ari Up and Poly Styrene!
