Book review: This Woman’s Work

Book cover

I don’t know what the point of this book is. 

Subtitled Essays on Music, the selling point is that everything in it has been written by a woman. Nearly all the reviews think the point is what’s on the publisher’s blurb – “confront male dominance and sexism” blah blah – but I don’t judge a book by its cover. Or even the inside cover. (The front cover – a woman musician, on stage, looking very rock’n’roll – is actually good.)
