The intro by Deborah Harry (Blondie) is sharp and sexy and straight to the point and is reason enough to read the book.
The only real annoyance I had with the book was with how much Madonna was referenced in Raphael's introduction. Yes, Madonna is one of a kind. She made her mark and paved the way for pop tarts for decades to come, but she is not a rock "diva". Diva, yes. Rock diva? No. When I think of women in rock, the obvious come to mind: Janis Joplin, Debbie Harry, Patti, Polly, Skin, Courtney.
All in all, this is great book for women, and men, to read and learn about an industry that tends to sexist.
Thanks for reading!
