God Save The Queens: The Essential History of Women in Hip-Hop

Though there have been many histories of hip-hop published over the years, they have all tended to focus primarily on men in hip-hop. This book aims to correct the record by focusing on the women that have pushed the genre forward and made their own indelible marks on the music world. By paying tribute to the women that came before todays big female stars, author Kathy Iandoli puts stars like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj in a historical context, illuminating the oft-forgotten figures that made room for contemporary stars to succeed. Exploring issues like gender, sexuality, violence, body image, feuds, objectification, and much more, this book provides a much needed update to the canon of hip-hop history.
