A SUNDAY TIMES, GUARDIAN AND DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR
With her arrival on the music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion.
But she was more than just a pop star. Fans gravitated to her as an emblem of a new age, one in which feminism could feel fresh and relevant to the next generation. Amid the scourge of the AIDS crisis, she brought queer identities into the mainstream and refused to separate her music from her political activism. As an artist, she pushed countless boundaries with provocative and visionary music, videos, films and live performances that changed culture globally.
Deftly tracing Madonna's story from her Michigan roots to her rise to super-stardom, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the dramatic life and enduring influence of one of the greatest artists of our time.
Mary Gabriel is the author of Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement that Changed Modern Art, which won the 2022 NYU/Axinn Foundation Prize for narrative non-fiction and the 2019 Library of Virginia and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts's Mary Lynn Kotz Award. Gabriel's previous book, Love and Capital: Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. She is also the author of Notorious Victoria: The Life of Victoria Woodhull, Uncensored and The Art of Acquiring: A Portrait of Etta and Claribel Cone. She worked in Washington and London as a Reuters editor for nearly two decades and lives in Ireland.
