This expanded ten-year anniversary edition features over 75 photos and includes three all-new chapters on all the major artists of the last decade as well as an insiderand#8217;s look at the music industry and the emerging power of women rock stars.

Review

"[She's A Rebel] is as thoroughly entertaining as it is researched....It's exhaustive and exhilarating." Billboard

Review

"[S]hakes us out of the pervasive attitude that women's place in rock & roll is to provide anonymous backup scenery. At last we have a lively history of our rock heroines." Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth
