Iggy Pop once said of women: “However close they come I’ll always pull the rug from under them. That’s where my music is made.” For so long, rock ’n’ roll has been fueled by this fear and loathing of the feminine. The first book to look at rock rebellion through the lens of gender, The Sex Revolts captures the paradox at rock’s dark heart—the music is often most thrilling when it is most misogynist and macho. And, looking at music made by female artists, it asks: must it always be this way?Provocative and passionately argued, the book walks the edgy line between a rock fan’s excitement and a critic’s awareness of the music’s murky undercurrents. Here are the angry young men like the Stones and Sex Pistols, cutting free from home and mother; here are the warriors and crusaders, The Clash, Public Enemy, and U2 taking refuge in a brotherhood-in-arms; and here are the would-be supermen, with their man-machine fantasies and delusions of grandeur, from Led Zeppelin and Jim Morrison to Nick Cave and gangsta rap. The authors unravel the mystical, back-to-the-womb longings of the psychedelic tradition, from Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and Van Morrison to Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine, and ambient techno. Alongside the story of male rock, The Sex Revolts traces the secret history of female rebellion in rock: the masquerade and mystique of Kate Bush, Siouxie, and Grace Jones, the demystifiers of femininity, like the Slits and Riot Grrl, tomboy rockers like L7 and P.J. Harvey, and confessional artists like Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, and Courtney Love.A heady blend of music criticism, cultural studies, and gender theory by two of rock’s keenest observers, The Sex Revolts is set to become the key text in the women-in-rock debate.

From a leading cultural journalist, the definitive cultural history of female showrunners—including exclusive interviews with such influential figures as Shonda Rhimes, Amy Sherman-Palladino, Mindy Kaling, Amy Schumer, and many more. “An urgent and entertaining history of the transformative powers of women in TV” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In recent years, women have radically transformed the television industry both behind and in front of the camera. From Murphy Brown to 30 Rock and beyond, these shows and the extraordinary women behind them have shaken up the entertainment landscape, making it look as if equal opportunities abound. But it took decades of determination in the face of outright exclusion to reach this new era. In this “sharp, funny, and gorgeously researched” (Emily Nussbaum, The New Yorker) book, veteran journalist Joy Press tells the story of the maverick women who broke through the barricades and the iconic shows that redefined the television landscape starting with Diane English and Roseanne Barr—and even incited controversy that reached as far as the White House. Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with the key players like Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls), Jenji Kohan (Orange is the New Black), and Jill Soloway (Transparent) who created storylines and characters that changed how women are seen and how they see themselves, this is the exhilarating behind-the-scenes story of a cultural revolution.

Ein Klassiker: Männer stehen auf der Bühne, Frauen im Publikum. Schaut man sich das Line-up vieler aktueller Festivals an, hat sich an dieser Arbeitsteilung nicht viel geändert: Headliner sind Männer, Machos mit Gitarren. Rock wird scheinbar immer noch von der Verachtung für das Weibliche befeuert und gilt nur dann als aufregend, wenn er sich möglichst misogyn und machohaft gebärdet.Im mittlerweile zum Klassiker avancierten "Sex Revolts" stellen Joy Press und Simon Reynolds angesichts der Verkultung des Männlichen im Rock und der Marginalisierung von Künstlerinnen die dringend notwendige Gegenfrage: Muss das so sein? Provokant und leidenschaftlich geschrieben, vereint "Sex-Revolten" die persönliche Fanperspektive von Joy Press und Simon Reynolds mit ihrem analytischen Blick auf den Gegenstand. Sie untersuchen die Frauenbilder der wütenden jungen Männer (u. a. Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols), der Krieger und Kreuzzügler (u. a. The Clash, Public Enemy), der Möchtegern-Supermänner (u. a. Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison, Nick Cave) und der psychedelischen Träumer von Pink Floyd über Van Morrison bis zu My Bloody Valentine. Und sie erobern denjenigen ihren Raum zurück, die sonst gerne übergangen werden: den Revolutionärinnen der Musikgeschichte. "Sex Revolts" erzählt von Performerinnen wie Kate Bush, Siouxsie und Grace Jones, präsentiert Feministinnen von The Slits bis zu den Riot Grrrls und porträtiert Rock-Hohepriesterinnen wie PJ Harvey, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell und Courtney Love.Die deutsche Übersetzung enthält exklusive Kapitel, die die Geschichte feministischer Revolten im Rock seit Erscheinen des Buches in den USA im Jahr 1995 weitererzählen.
