Madonna: Like an Icon

Lucy O'Brien was a founding member of the feminist punk rock band The Catholic Girls and wrote for the NME before writing for The Guardian, The Independent, Q and Mojo. Her reputation as an authority on female artists was established with her first book Dusty - a best-selling biography of British soul legend Dusty Springfield, which was instrumental in the rediscovery and reappraisal of Springfield's work, and She-Bop - a definitive history of women in rock and pop music.
