Jessica Hopper: A Living Female Rock Critic
About the Event:
Among Jessica Hopper’s many accomplishments over the course of her revered career is the first-ever - yes, you read that right - FIRST EVER - collection of criticism written by a living female rock critic. This groundbreaking work, first published in 2015 and now reissued with new material, is a rallying-cry for intersectional, woman-centered rock. Join Hopper and NPR Music critic and correspondent Ann Powers at CHF for a conversation about the fierce and radical women who make, play, and write about music.
- All CHF's virtual events have closed captions.
This program is presented in partnership with Women & Children First, Chicago's first feminist bookstore, celebrating and amplifying underrepresented voices since 1979.
