So this book is an attempt at a healing...and yes, even a noncorrosive revenge, as the title suggests. "I don't do revenge," drawled Chrissie Hynde on hearing the title. Yes, but we're not talking that mean-spirited sort of gotcha! revenge. In the case of punky females, revenge means getting the same access as your male peers, to make your own music, look and sound how you want, and be able to draw enough people to ensure the continuation of the process. Sounds simple enough, talent permitting, but as this book shows, it's different for girls.
