Download or read book Girls Rock! written by Mina Carson and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards Girls Rock! explores the many ways women have defined themselves as rock musicians in an industry once dominated and controlled by men. Integrating history, feminist analysis, and developmental theory, the authors describe how and why women have become rock musicians -- what inspires them to play and perform, how they write, what their music means to them, and what they hope their music means to listeners. As these musicians tell their stories, topics emerge that illuminate broader trends in rock's history. From Wanda Jackson's revolutionary act of picking up a guitar to the current success of independent artists such as Ani DiFranco, Girls Rock! examines the shared threads of these performers' lives and the evolution of women's roles in rock music since its beginnings in the 1950s. This provocative investigation of women in rock is based on numerous interviews with a broad spectrum of women performers -- those who have achieved fame and those just starting bands, those playing at local coffeehouses and those selling out huge arenas. Girls Rock! celebrates what female musicians have to teach about their experiences as women, artists, and rock musicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest revolution in a country is the one that affects the status and living conditions of women.The fall of India from her high status was partly atleast due to the deterioration of the status and position of women in India.Congress stands whole-heartedly for equal citizenship of women with men...(so far as I am concerened I think that) women should be treated on the same level as men educationally and economically and industrially...he downtrodden sections of society, who have been trampled upon for centuries, are our special responsibility. We must help them to become strong and bold and take their place in society. Women are more responsible even than men for the next generation, and unless they are enabled to participate fully in all national activities, the progress of the nation sufferes. The Congress is therefore of opinion that every effort should be made to open out opportunities of service for them in the legislatures and in social activities.
