Reviews

A thoughtful, nuanced, and beautifully written study of British girlhood and music through the upheavals of the 1960s. This book offers a terrific range of case studies including Lulu, Marianne Faithfull, Millie Small, and PP Arnold, to consider girl singers and their fans as bearers of social change in Swinging London. With attention to the materials and metaphorical functions of the voice, Apolloni restores authority to the girls and young women who were raising their voices and remaking the world. * Jacqueline Warwick, Dalhousie University, and author of Girl Groups, Girl Culture: Popular Music and Identity in the 1960s *
