Summary of Sex Revolts Pb

This study analyzes song lyrics to describe how women have traditionally been depicted in rock 'n' roll. The authors argue that male songwriters have either exploited or worshipped women, and that these perceptions will only change when women take control and write the words themselves.
The Sex Revolts is a book for those who don't just love rock music, but who also love to think about it. The book's subtitle, "Gender, Rebellion, and Rock 'n' Roll" might seem to presage solemn windiness. Yet the book is trenchantly written, well-researched (complete with footnotes and a helpful bibliography) and covers a very wide array of musicians. Best of all, the book is an entertaining way to bring yourself up to speed on many of rock's current upstarts.
