WOMEN WRITERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

writing well of women writers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Norman Warwick<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by iconic musician Kim Gordon and esteemed writer Sin\u00e9ad Gleeson, this powerful collection of award-winning female creators shares their writing about the female artists that matter most to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is for, and about, the women who kicked in doors, as pioneers of their craft or making politics central to their sound: those who offer a new way of thinking about the vast spectrum of women in music<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A radical departure from the historic narrative of music and music writing being written by men, for men, This Woman’s Work<\/em> challenges the male dominance and sexism that have been hard-coded in the canons of music, literature, and film and has forced women to fight pigeon-holing or being side-lined by carving out their own space. Women have to speak up, to shout louder to tell their story–like the auteurs and ground-breakers featured in this collection, including: Anne Enright on Laurie Anderson; Megan Jasper on her ground-breaking work with Sub Pop; Margo Jefferson on Bud Powell and Ella Fitzgerald; and Fatima Bhutto on music and dictatorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Woman’s Work also features writing on the experimentalists, women who blended music and activism, the genre-breakers, the vocal auteurs; stories of lost homelands and friends; of propaganda and dictatorships, the women of folk and country, the racialized tropes of jazz, the music of Trap and Carriacou; of mixtapes and violin lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
