The authorized biography of one of the most well-known 80’s pop bands “The Bangles.”

Author @jenniferotterbickerdike does an incredible job telling their story in a compulsively readable way, beginning with their days in the underground scene and propelling to worldwide fame. Self-taught musicians, The Bangles had to fight their way through the misogynistic music industry to be taken seriously. Interviews with The Bangles (except for Michael Steele who opted out of being interviewed) bring their story to life making this a genuinely compelling read not only for those who grew up in the 80s, but for anyone who admires hardworking and amazingly talented badass women. Fully understanding how hard these women worked to be respected and acknowledged makes their music even that more special. Kudos to the author for an outstanding job!
