description: Well written collection of essays by the feminist scholar Ellen Willis (1941-2006) These pieces includes libertarian, feminist and other critical thinking points of views and opinions on rock music, love, politics, popular culture and sociology. They makes an entertaining read and are good remainders of the polemical left-wing feminism from the late 1960's and 1970's. Willis was the first popular Rock &amp; Roll music critic for The New Yorker, between 1968 and 1975. She was a highly respected journalist whose writings were published in diverse publications such as Rolling Stone, Rampart, The Nation, The New York Times and The Village Voice.
