本書是一本訪談錄，旨在訪問美國搖滾界知名的女子搖滾樂團，這些女子樂團是比較激進而暴力的，可以暴女稱之。本書是在訪問這些女子樂團的成員其心路歷程與對音樂的想法，內容除了可以增進讀者對女子搖滾樂的認識外，這些搞團的女性的現身說法也提供了豐富的女性生活經驗。(內容十分聳動，對性、暴力、SM、亂倫、從娼等都有描述)

這是一本搖滾樂的另類導讀，也是女人在男性搖滾樂中逐漸找到自己聲音的故事。這本書是這樣開始的，古希臘的尤里西斯為了傾聽女妖的歌聲，將自己牢牢綁在船桅上。男人想聽女人唱歌，又怕聽女人唱歌；到了二十一世紀的今天，我們又不免聽到越來越多的女人在唱歌，本書將為您解答這些令人迷惑的問題。搖滾樂是西方的產物，一種相當男性的東西；重節奏、原始的旋律、爆發的張力，都是和傳統所謂女性特質大相徑庭的事物。從六○年代女性搖滾樂手鳳毛麟角的狀況，到女性歌手普獲重視的今天，整個女性搖滾樂手的發展故事，就是二十世紀後半女性爭取自主運動的故事。 搖滾樂的另類導讀：本書從搖滾樂披荊斬棘的六○年代開始，分三階段介紹七○及八、九○年代具影響力的女性搖滾樂手的故事及音樂。 二百張女搖滾CD唱片收藏指南：以最具原創性的角度，推薦值得收藏的女性搖滾樂手CD唱片。 顛覆傳統搖滾樂分類系統的女性樂...(展开全部)
