Printing industry's own rock chick belts it out

History of hot rock goddesses is a sure-fire hit for Alison Stieven-Taylor, well-known industry PR queen.

Stieven-Taylor's book Rock Chicks spans from the 1960s to now and lifts the lid off the behind-the-scenes antics of more than twenty of the world's most famous female singers whose determination has earned them the label 'rock star' - from Janis Joplin and Chrissie Hynde to Courtney Love and P!nk.

Starting out as a music publicist Stieven-Taylor  has worked as a door bitch for local bands including the Angels, INXS, Mental As Anything, the Divinyls and Cold Chisel.  In 1983 she moved to Los Angeles and worked as a publicist on Men at Work's North American and Canadian tour.

With perceptive biographies and in-depth music critiques Stieven-Taylor gives an up-close and personal look at the experiences, adventures and musical passions of these extraordinary and talented women whose wild vocals and on-stage antics have made them rock 'n' roll legends.

Through personal heartaches, drug addictions, public humiliations and private nightmares, these rock chicks have taken the music world by storm, despite often facing great personal adversity - pressure and scrutiny that would have destroyed mere mortals.
