Fangirls : scenes from modern music culture
Ewens, Hannah2019
Book
From the Byromaniacs of the 19th century (who can still be found now, if you look hard enough), through to the Beatle hysteria of the early 60s and the OneDirectioners of today, female fans have long driven the objects of their affection to the giddy heights of life-changing fame. So why don't these women and other marginalised groups get any credit? In 'Fangirls', journalist Hannah Ewens is on a mission to give these individuals their rightful due. A self-confessed fangirl herself, she traces the path of fans through recent history: the ups, the downs, the lengths they go to; but also the communities and camaraderie created by these communities off- and online and the lifeline they can provide.
