A new book about the resiliency of the women in country music, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed to Be, written by veteran Nashville journalist Marissa R. Moss is on tap for release next spring.
Her Country is Moss’ story of how country music’s female artists have fought back over the past two decades against industry systems designed to keep them down–armed with their art and never willing to just shut up and sing.
In the book she explores how artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Mickey Guyton, Maren Morris, The Chicks, Miranda Lambert, Rissi Palmer, Brandy Clark, LeAnn Rimes, Brandi Carlile, Margo Price and more have reinvented the rules to find their place in an industry stacked against them.
The book chronicles their paths to stardom, and their battles against a deeply embedded boys’ club, as well as their efforts to transform the genre into a more inclusive place for all.
