Spare Rib magazine issue 100
Information
Description
Spare Rib shone a light on the arts world during the 1980s, particularly the music business which was notoriously sexist. Becoming a commercial success as a pop artist while maintaining any sense of feminist integrity was hard then, as it is now. Some female artists actively used their music to challenge myths and stereotypes and were aware of the potential influence they had on young girls’ developing sense of identity.
