{"product_id":"9781623565695","title":"Hole's Live Through This","description":"Courtney Love has never been less than notorious. 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\u003eLive Through This\u003c\/i\u003e, awoke a feminist consciousness in a generation of young listeners.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\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":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139469000944,"sku":"9781623565695","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623565695_p0.jpg?v=1763863222","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623565695","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
