Review

The future of rock belongs to women. (Kurt Cobain )

I am not a woman myself but my mother was; Sheila, who refers to me as her first husband, is too and our daughters Danda and Florence will be soon. Danda and Florence want to be in bands- guitar and bass respectively- and when the time comes I shall sugg (John Peel, DJ )

full of stuff to digest and question, not just about being a musician, but about being a sassy chick in a man's world. Buy it or borrow it, it's a life-changer for sure... (JUST SEVENTEEN )

Rather than imposing her own view on the subject, Raphael has let the women speak for themselves... Essential reading for all music business locker rooms. (Q MAGAZINE )
