Sex, Kids, & Rock 'n' Roll

Miami Herald Pop Critic Evelyn McDonnell documented, and took part in, the post-feminist revolution, writing up riot grrls and marching topless down Fifth Avenue. Then she became a mom. In her book, Mamarama: A Memoir of Sex, Kids, & Rock 'n' Roll, she describes the challenge of setting rules after a lifetime spent breaking them.
