A full length music CD and informative 64 page color book.
This book details the struggles of female country music performers from the early stars, such as Maybelle Carter and Patsy Montana, to today's outspoken performers, such as Rosenne Cash and Mary-Chapin Carpenter to gain creative and economic control over their music in a largely male-dominated industry. As you read about the triumphs and heartbreaks of the women of country, you can also listen to some of the greatest country tracks ever recorded.

This top-quality book and full-length compact disc together provide a comprehensive survey of the rise to prominence of women in country music. Listen to some of the most vibrant country songs ever performed as you learn about the women who sang them.
