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

God Save the Queens is a comprehensive and long overdue history of hip-hop's female pioneers and enduring stars.

This book sheds light on the contributions of dozens of important female hip-hop artists who have sold tens of millions of albums, starred in monumental films, and influenced the direction of the culture.

The text highlights the lack of recognition these women have received in previous histories of hip-hop, which primarily focus on men.

God Save the Queens pays tribute to these influential female artists, exploring issues of gender, money, sexuality, violence, body image, feuds, objectification, and more.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about the significant role women have played in shaping hip-hop culture.
