Overview

A fierce feminist history of women in punk. Rebel Queens - the first title in the Know Your Subject: Concise Books Series - uncovers how female musicians and activists turned raw sound into revolution. With original ink illustrations, it's a compact manifesto of rebellion, resilience, and resistance. From the sweat-stained clubs of 1970s London to the DIY scenes reshaping feminist art today, Rebel Queens charts the untold story of women who used noise as liberation. Blending music history, cultural critique, and raw testimony, this book explores how punk became a defiant soundtrack to female autonomy - and how its spirit still thrashes beneath modern movements. Part of the Know Your Subject: Concise Books Series (No. 1), this compact volume distills decades of research and lived experience into a fast, vivid read. It features three original black-and-white ink illustrations by the author, inspired by the fierce energy of the women who changed punk forever - portraits that echo the spit, glamour, and rage of rebellion itself. ""Have we come anywhere at all after nearly half a century of female revolution - and where do we go next?"" For readers of music history, feminism, and subculture studies, Rebel Queens is both chronicle and manifesto - a visual and sonic celebration of those who refused to be quiet.
