Summary
Introduces the four women who inspired, styled, wrote for, remixed, and ultimately helped create the legend of the Rolling Stones and transformed them into international stars, but who were themselves marginalized by the male-dominated rock world of the late 60s and early 70s.
The Rolling Stones's innovative music and iconic performances defined a generation. Behind these larger-than-life rock stars were four women who inspired, styled, wrote for, remixed, and ultimately helped create their legend. Winder profiles the contributions that Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, and Anita Pallenberg made to the Rolling Stones, transforming them into international stars-- yet were themselves marginalized by the male-dominated rock world of the late 60s and early 70s. -- adapted from jacket.
