Overview
In the early 1980s, Kim Gordon, along with her future husband, Thurston Moore, and guitarist Lee Ranaldo, formed one of the most innovative, influential, and prolific bands of the American independent music scene, Sonic Youth. Girl in a Band is the first-person account from one of rock's greatest female icons, a woman who, like Patti Smith, Janis Joplin, or Marianne Faithfull, fought to find her place in an overwhelmingly masculine and often sexist world. This book critically explores the point of view of a woman who forged a path for herself in a world where testosterone still rules. Reviews

"I've always admired Kim Gordon. She is cool, smart, and dignified. Girl in a Band is a fascinating and honest memoir full of raw emotion and insight." — Sofia Coppola, on the English-language edition

"Gordon's career as a musician, artist, critic, performer, producer, and designer spanned the last truly hip era of downtown New York. The names and the nostalgia-for those who remember or who wish they did-are well worth the price of admission." — Booklist, on the English-language editionAuthor Biography
