Women Make Noise: Girl Bands from Motown to the Modern
Victoria Yeulet,Elizabeth K. Keenan,Sini Timonen,Jackie Parsons
In WOMEN MAKE NOISE musicians, journalists,
promoters and fans excavate the hidden story of
the all-girl band: from country belles of the 20s-40s
and girl groups of the 60s, to prog rock goddesses,
women’s liberationists and punks of the 70s-80s; from riot
grrrl activists and queercore anarchists of the 90s to radical protesters Pussy
Riot and the most inspiring all-girl bands today. These aren’t the manufactured
acts of some pop svengali, these groups write their own songs, play their own
instruments and make music together on their own terms. All-girl bands have made radical contributions to feminism, culture and
politics as well as well as producing some unique, influential and innovative
music. It’s time to celebrate the outspoken voices, creative talents and gutsy
performances of the all-girl bands who demand we take notice.
