A little dry in parts, but over all a good reference.

had to pick and choose who to read about. I think only about a 1/4 of it was ladies I care about.

Dry, dry, dry... reads like an encyclopedia of names and dates. Tries to do too much within its space limitations. And automatically gets at least one star taken off for not mentioning Pink, one of the foremost voices in the past twenty years for strong women taking control of their lives (In 2009, Billboard magazine named Pink the #1 pop musician of the decade,and in 2012 VH1 named Pink #10 on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music), while giving up to four pages to artists such as Laura Love (?).

Take note, Gillian Gaar... "pop musician of the decade", not "female pop musician of the decade..."
