Here’s to the women in music who kick in doors, who break genres, who are repeatedly asked: “What’s it like to be a girl in a band?” Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon doesn’t like the question, but her new anthology This Woman’s Work, edited with former music journalist Sinéad Gleeson, gives us multitudes of answers on their own terms. Youre invited to join Gordon, Gleeson, and the subject of the anthologys lead essay, Laurie Anderson, for a riotous time spotlighting womens work in the music industry, which includes claiming their stories (and songs), while simultaneously smashing the patriarchy. This conversation is moderated by Pitchforks Editor in Chief, Puja Patel.
