Her intelligence, ambition and appetite for confrontation have made her a target in a music industry still dominated by men. As Kurt Cobain's wife, she was derided as an opportunistic groupie; as his widow, she is pitied and scorned, as the madwoman in rock's attic. Yet Hole's second album, \u003cem\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/em\u003e, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of young listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in 1994, at a tumultuous point in the history of American music. Three years earlier, Nirvana's \u003cem\u003eNevermind\u003c\/em\u003e had broken open the punk underground, and the first issue of a zine called Riot Grrrl had been published. Hole were of this context and yet outside of it: too famous for the strict punk ethics of riotgrrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world's biggest rock band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/em\u003e is an album about girlhood and motherhood; desire and disgust; self-destruction and survival. There have been few rock albums before or since so intimately concerned with female experience. It is an album that changed lives – so why is Courtney Love’s achievement as a songwriter and musician still not taken seriously, two decades on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430851756268,"sku":"9781623563776","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781623563776.jpg?v=1774558295","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/holes-live-through-this-by-anwen-crawford-9781623563776","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
