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

God Save the Queens - The Unsung History of Hip-Hop's Female Pioneers and Enduring Stars.

This book is a long overdue history of hip-hop's female pioneers and enduring stars, exploring issues of gender, money, sexuality, violence, body image, feuds, objectification, and more.

It pays tribute to the women of hip-hop - from early work of Roxanne Shante, to hitmakers like Queen Latifah and Missy Elliot, to superstars of today.

This book is essential and monumental work of music journalism that at last gives these influential female artists the respect they have long deserved.
