Overview: Drawn from NPR Music’s acclaimed, groundbreaking series Turning the Tables, the definitive book on the vital role of Women in Music—from Beyoncé to Odetta, Taylor Swift to Joan Baez, Joan Jett to Dolly Parton—featuring excerpts of archival interviews, essays, and best album and song shout-outs. What if the history of popular music could be seen through the lens of the women who made it? This remarkable anthology expands on NPR Music’s celebratory and provocative multi-platform series Turning the Tables, examining the crucial and historically understated role women have and continue to play in popular music. Before Turning the Tables launched in 2017, best album lists in magazines or online included few works by women, and female artists would claim only a few places of honor in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But Turning the Tables helped change that. How Women Made Music inaugurates a new phase in NPR’s ongoing mission to infuse canon-making with life. With an introduction by acclaimed critic and Turning the Tables co-founder, Ann Powers, and edited by co-founder Alison Fensterstock, this impressive history draws from every Turning the Tables season and is enhanced with new material—representing more than fifty years of NPR’s exclusive coverage of women in popular music—as well as new text, interviews, and reporting from deep inside the NPR archives. Destined to become a classic, this incomparable volume is not only a vital record of history; it reveals much about how music is made, how musical lives are maintained, and how tastes and trends change from generation to generation.
