a spirited rebuttal to rock's male-dominated narrative;
This book reports on the beliefs and practices of female punks who pursued their own freedom.
The definitive feminist music history!

"Revenge of the She-Punk" is an eye-opening, investigative report on female punk by "Professor Punk," the first female music journalist to report on punk in the UK and who now teaches punk and reggae at New York University.

This book is not just a chronological historical account. The author explores the reasons why punk is a liberating art form for women by dividing it into four themes: "identity," "money," "love," and "protest," and unravels the history piece by piece. Starting in London and New York in the 1970s, the book unfolds as a world tour of female punks, traveling to Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, China, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Jamaica, Eastern Europe, India, and Russia, without falling into Anglo-American or white supremacy.

This book, published in 2019, was selected as the Book of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine and was highly praised by leading newspapers around the world, including The Guardian. It is the definitive edition that will surely be referenced in the future when learning about feminist music.
