Considering the impact of music in the 60s and 70s and how it helped shape a generation of women, a book about three of the most influencial women in music history lends itself to the consideration of their time and their personal journies to discovery. In Weller's book she chronicles the lives of Simon, Mitchell and King, both individually and as their lives and music intertwined. It's a fascinating read and a engaging conversation about love, loss, marriage and the choices these women made in the shadow of their families and in the quiet hopes of what they wanted for themselves. |
