We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The True, Tough Story of Women in Rock

A rather scholarly collection of the role women have played in rock music. There are some great stories in here of triumph over adversity, but also of tough times for those mentioned. The prose is a little stiff, so it's not the biggest of page-turners at times, but this is made up for by the sheer thoroughness of research and stories from some of the more obscure artists mentioned that you wouldn't find anywhere else.
