Why read it?
1 author picked Olivia on the Record as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A wonderful overview of the early years of Olivia Records, this memoir from the social justice warrior of the original Olivia collective details how the first lesbian recording company was founded—and succeeded, despite all odds.

From Bonnie's list on the women’s music movement.
