Some of these women were respected but not widely celebrated. Some are impossible not to know. Some of these women have stood on their own; others were forced into templates, compelled to stand beside men in big rap crews. Some have been trapped in a strange critical space between respected MC and object. They are characters, caricatures, lyricists, at times both feminine and explicit. This book profiles each of these women, their musical and career breakthroughs, and the ways in which they each helped change the culture of rap. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClover Hope\u003c\/b\u003e is a Brooklyn-based writer who has previously worked as an editor at \u003ci\u003eVibe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eXXL\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBillboard\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJezebel\u003c\/i\u003e.
