Even the Good Girls Will Cry

Melissa Auf der Maur, former bassist for Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins, has lived a life shaped by creativity and reinvention. In her memoir Even the Good Girls Will Cry, she takes us backstage during an era of significant cultural change, reflecting on friendship, fame, grief and being a young woman in a fiercely male-dominated world. Candid, searching and alive with the energy of the music that defined a generation, Auf der Maur speaks to Edwina Preston about finding her voice amid the noise.
