Book ID/图书代码: 01899018C00132
English Summary/英文概要: A stellar and unprecedented celebration of 106 musical artists, WOMEN WHO ROCK is the most complete, up-to-date history of the evolution, influence, and importance of women in music. A gorgeous gift book, it includes a stunning, specially commissioned, full-color illustrated portrait of every musician and group.
From Bessie Smith and The Supremes to Joan Baez, Madonna, Beyonce, Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton, Sleater-Kinney, Taylor Swift, and scores more, women have played an essential and undeniable role in the evolution of popular music including blues, rock and roll, country, folk, glam rock, punk, and hip hop. Today, in a world traditionally dominated by male artists, women have a stronger influence on popular music than ever before. Yet, not since the late nineteen-nineties has there been a major work that acknowledges and pays tribute to the female artists who have contributed to, defined, and continue to make inroads in music.
In WOMEN WHO ROCK, writer and professor of journalism and new media Evelyn McDonnell leads a team of women rock writers and pundits in an all-out celebration of 106 of the greatest female musicians. Organized chronologically, the book profiles each artist and places her in the context of both her genre and the musical world at large. Sidebars throughout recall key moments that shaped both the trajectory of music and how those moments influenced or were influenced by women artists.
With full-color illustrated portraits by women artists, WOMEN WHO ROCK will be THE long-awaited gift book for every music fan, feminist, and female rocker, young and old musicians.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是对106位音乐艺术家的一场精彩而史无前例的庆典,她们都是摇滚女性,这是关于音乐中女性的演变、影响和重要性的最完整、最新的历史。这是一本精美的礼品书,其中包括一幅令人惊叹的,特别委托的,全彩插图的肖像画,每一个音乐家和乐队。
从贝茜•史密斯和至高无上乐队到琼•贝茜、麦当娜、碧昂丝、艾米•怀恩豪斯、多莉•帕顿、斯莱特-肯尼、泰勒•斯威夫特,以及其他许多人,女性在流行音乐的演变中扮演了一个不可或缺的不可否认的角色,包括布鲁斯、摇滚、乡村、民谣、迷人的摇滚、朋克和嘻哈。如今,在一个传统上由男性艺术家主导的世界里,女性对流行音乐的影响力比以往任何时候都要大。然而,自20世纪90年代末以来,还没有哪部重要的作品承认并向那些对音乐做出贡献、定义并继续在音乐领域取得进展的女艺术家致敬。
在《摇滚女性》中,作家兼新闻与新媒体教授伊芙琳•麦克唐奈带领一支由女摇滚作家和权威人士组成的团队,全力庆祝106位最伟大的女音乐家的诞生。按照时间顺序排列,这本书介绍了每一位艺术家,并将她置于她的流派和整个音乐世界的背景中。边栏自始至终都在回忆那些塑造了音乐轨迹的关键时刻,以及那些时刻是如何受到女性艺术家的影响的。
随着女性艺术家的全彩插画肖像,摇滚女性将成为期待已久的礼物,每一个音乐迷、女权主义者、女摇滚歌手、年轻的和年老的音乐家。(WYL)
