Critics Review

Variously optimistic, troubling, joyful, illuminating, fierce and thoughtful. It is often all these things at once– Guardian

A series of wide-ranging, deep-dive, soul-baring interviews, full of candid, intimate, spiky meditations on inspiration, artistry, sexuality, race, love, self-doubt, abuse, defiance, and everything in between … Raphael had carved a vital space for female artists to ‘womanspread’, as it were, and speak freely - Observer

Variously optimistic, troubling, joyful, illuminating, fierce and thoughtful. It is often all these things at once - Guardian

A perceptive and candid collection of new interviews with 18 women that discuss everything from #MeToo and queer politics to the impact of social media on their lives and the subtleties of routine misogyny - Irish Times

Journalist Amy Raphael talks to 18 incredible women about their experiences as musicians and the music industry with fascinating and illuminating results - Stylist

A fascinating, brilliant book, full of joy, rage, a love of music, and a battle to show that it can be done even when culture might push back. A celebration of some of the best and most exciting faces in music today, and a must read - The Skinny

Stretches your brain and swells your heart with every page … if anyone wishes to understand what Courtney Love has had to go through, this is definitely recommended
