Introduces the four women who inspired, styled, wrote for, remixed, and ultimately helped create the legend of the Rolling Stones and transformed them into international stars, but who were themselves marginalized by the male-dominated rock world of the late 60s and early 70s.

In more competent hands this would have been a phenomenal book. These women deserve far more credit and respect than they have received over the years, though things have been shifting toward a less, though not eliminated, misogynistic environment. Winder seems to still be arguing with the 1960s. Updating those arguments would have made that aspect of the book so much better rather than showing how out of touch she is.
The events and incidents explored are fascinating, even if you have to take a lot of the "detail" with a grain or twenty of salt. Again, this would work better as straight history than faux-creative historical fiction. But we can hope for more competent hands at some point, this is too important a chapter of rock history to leave in amateur hands.
While definitely recommended for Stones fans and those interested in recovering the tremendously roles of women in the genre, just keep in mind there is a lot of fluff and some creative license taken.
