{"product_id":"2940170776535","title":"Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon---and the Journey of a Generation","description":"Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct: King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now-mythic generation known as \"the sixties\"-the female version-but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation had never been written-until now-and it is told through the resonant lives and emblematic songs of Mitchell, Simon, and King.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with the voices of many dozens of these women's intimates, this alternating biography reads like a novel-except it's all true, and the heroines are famous and beloved. Sheila Weller captures the character of each woman and gives a balanced portrayal enriched by a wealth of new information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGirls Like Us\u003c\/i\u003e is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them-confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100032188656,"sku":"2940170776535","price":26.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170776535_p0.jpg?v=1763717254","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170776535","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
