Table of ContentsReviewsCosey Fanni Tutti has lived the life and has the stories to tell: not just hers, but those of two other still unheralded female pioneers. Jon Savage Sparked by coincidence and fuelled by strong feelings of like-mindedness, Cosey Fanni Tutti inhabits the lives of two famously iconoclastic women, Delia Derbyshire and Margery Kempe, clearly identifying them as both kindred spirits and profound sources of inspiration, and vividly blending their stories with her own. The result is pure Cosey Fanni Tutti: passionate, original, and fiercely defiant. Rupert Thomson Awe-inspiring. This book is for anybody who wants to discover the work of three women who, without fanfare, have enriched our world. Robert Wyatt An impeccably researched meditation on womanhood as viewed through the lives of three firebrand. Fiona Sturges, Guardian Never self-serving, always full of active curiosity about the ways distant artists compel and ignite us . . . Re-sisters emanates an enthralling power. Jude Rogers, MOJO This engaging entwining of lives is about defying your place as a woman, the freedom to define yourself, and preserving yourself among stultifying societal norms and patriarchal belittlement and aggressions . . . Ultimately, what comes through, and is truly inspiring, is strength of character, strength of creativity - true fortitude, no least in the face of trauma . . . They all transcend those experiences and are truly alive in this book. Katrina Dixon, The Wire Re-sisters digs up narratives of guile and wiliness, tales of flying under the radar, and emerges with a whole cryptology of female artistic liberation. My recommendation: get it, read it, hear it. Louder than War In her fascinating new book she tells the story of Derbyshire and Kempe, while also revealing how they have informed her own life. A straight up and down biography of Derbyshire - or Kemp - would have made more sense, but Fanni Tutti has never done straight up and down and I, for one, was enthralled. The Crack Author InformationMusician and artist Cosey Fanni Tutti has continually challenged boundaries and conventions for four decades. As a founding member of the hugely influential avant-garde band Throbbing Gristle, as one half of electronic pioneers Chris and Cosey, and as an artist channelling her experience in pornographic modelling and striptease, her work on the margins has come to reshape the mainstream. Her first book, Art Sex Music, was a Sunday Times, Telegraph, Rough Trade, Pitchfork and Uncut Book of the Year, and was shortlisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize.
