Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story --- a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock and roll. Here, she tells the story of her family, growing up in California in the '60s and '70s, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music and her band.
