Carole King's Tapestry is both an anthemic embodiment of second-wave feminism and an apotheosis of the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter sound and scene. And these two elements of the album's historic significance are closely related insofar as the professional autonomy of the singer-songwriter is an expression of the freedom and independence women of King's generation sought as the turbulent sixties came to a close. Aligning King's own development from girl to woman with the larger shift in the music industry from teen-oriented singles by girl groups to albums by adult-oriented singer-songwriters, this volume situates Tapestry both within King's original vision as the third in a trilogy (preceded by Now That Everything's Been Said and Writer) and as a watershed in musical and cultural history, challenging the male dominance of the music and entertainment industries and laying the groundwork for female dominated genres such as women's music and Riot Grrrl punk.

A groundbreaking and irresistible biography of three of America’s most important musical artists—Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon—charts their lives as women at a magical moment in time. Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct. Carole King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Joni Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Carly Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now mythic sixties generation—female version—but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation has never been written—until now, through their resonant lives and emblematic songs. Filled with the voices of many dozens of these women's intimates, who are speaking in these pages for the first time, this alternating biography reads like a novel—except it’s all true, and the heroines are famous and beloved. Sheila Weller captures the character of each woman and gives a balanced portrayal enriched by a wealth of new information. Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them—confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul.

Carole Rodger was no different than most young girls. Growing up in Scotland in the early 70's she would dream of getting married to her prince, having two children, and living in her castle happily ever after. At the age of 17 she found her prince, eventually got married, had her two children, and moved into her castle, but then her world started to crumble around her. The one thing she dreaded throughout her whole childhood was forced upon her...being part of another broken family. Determined to survive a failed marriage, she moved out of the family house to start a new life for herself and her two children. Until a medical scare derailed her only six months after her marriage ended...breast cancer. Her unwavering desire and spirit to find true love, adventure, and to live life to its fullest persevered, and led her to the sport of mountain climbing. She eventually trained to climb the Matterhorn and was asked by a fellow climber if she'd like to go on a blind date, where she met her true prince, Sean. After a nine-month transatlantic relationship with this American, she got married in a Scottish Palace on Valentine's Day, honeymooned in Italy, and packed her bags, deciding to leave her beloved Scotland to relocate her children and herself to New York. Once again back on track and living the life she'd always dreamt of, this time with her soul mate, the unthinkable happened. Carole was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and she asked God, why me again? The emotional roller coaster she rode built an incredible strength of spirit and hope within her which was inspirational to others as she looked for ways to treat the disease. How can something positive come out of such a story? Read on...
