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, \u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style-normal\"\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of young listeners.\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e 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 riotgrrrl, too explicitly feminist to be the world's biggest rock band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style-normal\"\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\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?","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616146280606,"sku":"UBD-9781623563776","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781623563776.jpg?v=1773810330","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781623563776","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
