In a series of twenty candid interviews with influential women

generation a voice, and probes the depths of how and why they broke
through society’s limitations to create works of outstanding measure.
Among the musical genres covered are rock, punk, goth, industrial,
electronica, performance art, and more.

Author Zora von Burden was born and raised in San Francisco,
California. A frequent contributor to the San Francisco Herald, von
Burden also wrote the screenplay for Geoff Cordner’s underground cult
classic film, Hotel Hopscotch.
