Mavis Bayton is Tutor in Sociology, Ruskin College, Oxford
an interesting overview of the involvement of women in popular music from technician to talent scout.../ The book is free from obscure jargon and unneccessary terminology, a rare quality in an academic study of this subject./ ... I admire this book for being systematic, leaving no aspect of the industry unprobed./ There is no other serious up-to-date study of women in popular music to rival 'Frock Rock'. Ronita Dutta, THES, 05/02/99 This is the best study I know of the everyday life of the popular musician, packed with insights about the sheer hard work of music making, and salutary reading for anyone who's ever thought that rock stars are just lucky. Simon Frith
