Reviews

"This project is an important interdisciplinary contribution to what is now a bona fide discourse of Springsteen studies. It takes a uniquely empirical approach to the subject, and illuminates a once overlooked, but now increasingly important and multifaceted conversation about female audiences for Springsteen's music."--Jim Cullen "author of Martin Scorsese and the American Dream"

"Mary Climbs In offers an important entry in rock music scholarship. In addition to providing a contribution to the burgeoning arena of fan studies, Mangione and Luff afford readers a vital window into the female experience vis-à-vis rock 'n' roll."

--Kenneth Womack "author of Solid State: The Story of "Abbey Road" and the End of the Beatles"
