Reviews

Extensively researched and endnoted, Lankford's book reads as much like a primer on third-wave (or 'lipstick') feminism as on the music and artists embodying it. . . . Lankford's book will serve as a definitive resource for women's studies as well as music history and popular culture programs on college campuses and it is broad enough in coverage and appeal to be of interest also to public library audiences.

Fans of the individual artists will enjoy Lankford’s detailed discussions of their music, as will anyone who wants to understand this particular aspect of 1990s pop-music culture.
