The absence of women in the history of music has led us to believe that no musician worth mentioning existed. And yet…
Annie Coste’s book ‘Les femmes musiciennes sont dangereuses’ (Women musicians are dangerous), published in late 2023 by Editions Flammarion, shows that despite very difficult conditions, many female heroes managed to create great works and even contribute to the evolution of musical genres.
With its beautiful images and extensive playlist, this book finally gives us a chance to see and hear these rebellious female creators, who have unfairly remained in the shadows. It’s the perfect way to gain a new perspective on the history of both art and popular music.
