"Courtney Love has never been less than notorious. Her intelligence, ambition and
appetite for confrontation has 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, Live Through This, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of teenage
girls. Live Through This arrived in 1994, at a tumultuous point in the history of
American music. Three years earlier, Nirvana's Nevermind 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 riot-grrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world's biggest rock band. Live Through
This 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. The album is a key document of third-wave feminism, but the
conditions that produced its particular aesthetic have disappeared. So where did the
energy of that feminism go? And why is Courtney Love's achievement as a songwriter
and musician still not taken seriously, two decades on?"--Back cover
