This Woman’s Work: Essays On Music edited by Kim Gordon & Sinead Gleeson

WHITE RABBIT, £20 (EBOOK £9.99). REVIEW BY SCARLETT SANGSTER

If approaching this collection expecting a feminist critique of the music industry, readers will be surprised but not necessarily disappointed to find a series of nostalgic ruminations from critics, essayists and industry professionals about the personal significance of music in their lives. This eclectic collection invites you to indulge in the fandom, influence and experiences (good and bad) brought about by the artists each contributor most admires. A tip for readers – don’t read in order. You won’t know all of the artists and many are hard to track down on streaming libraries. Who knows, maybe future editions will be published with a mix tape.
