About this book
How is the Philadelphia Punk Rock scene defying gender stereotypes and empowering women to push boundaries and transform their lives?
Drawing on personal experience and interviews, this book explores the important part women play in the Philadelphia Punk Rock scene as creators, cultural producers, community and infrastructure builders, and institutional developers. Author Anne Cecil examines the rise of the Philly scene in the wider Punk context and how, based on location and community, it diverged from the aggressive, masculine stereotype.
Discussing themes of social identity, community, and empowerment, this book is ideal reading for students of Fashion and Style, Gender Studies, Sociology, and Cultural Anthropology.
