Backstage With The Hot Flashes

This autoethnographic account of the author's experience performing rock `n' roll from the 1950s and 1960s as part of a quartet of middle-aged women reveals how performance can interrogate and contest notions of gender, age, and identity. By moving among the layers of experience—on stage, backstage, among the four singers, and between the singers and the audiences—as well as by reflecting on those experiences and interactions, the author takes the reader on her journey of understanding and transformation.
