Award-winning musician, songwriter, and poet DiFranco<\/strong>\u00a0 \u21d1\u00a0 chronicles her rise to fame with engaging candor. Fending for herself by age 15, she survived each unusual day with ingenuity and perseverance while pursuing her education and musical passion. She performed whenever possible in coffee houses, clubs, and other venues, developing an eclectic sound all her own\u2014drawn from folk, rock, and multigenre influences. Emerging as a sought-after performer and collaborator at home and abroad, she also became a trailblazer in the recording industry: founding and maintaining her independent label, Righteous Babe Records<\/strong>, and successfully issuing more than 20 of her own albums (including Little Plastic Castle<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Living in Clip<\/i>). An activist who has never been afraid to confront the musical, social, or political establishments, she’s served as a role model for many. DiFranco is a natural storyteller, infusing these pages\u2014with their frequent offbeat anecdotes, unusual characters, and significant episodes\u2014with wit, humor, and perspective. She also intersperses the narrative with some of her most notable poetry.<\/p>\n
