In a very special return episode, we talk about the fantastic, and oh-so-perfectly timed new book Pop Star Goddesses, by Pop Literacy co-host Jennifer Keishin Armstrong. A beautifully illustrated collection of biographies of pop divas from Adele to Shakira and Beyonce to Solange, Pop Star Goddesses arrives to share how an incredibly deep bench of talented, inspiring women in pop music are shaping the larger culture with their skills, performances, and passion.

We talk about how, just like the goddesses of ancient culture, our pop stars have much to teach us, from the resilience of Britney Spears and career transformation of Jennifer Lopez to Pink’s badassery and Kelly Clarkson’s down-to-earth relatability. And, just as Pop Star Goddesses provides a gorgeously-packaged, inspiring read in our current time of global crisis, we also discuss a few other recent female musical biographies that have moved us, including a memoir about Loretta Lynn’s famous friendship with Patsy Cline, and the Jessica Simpson autobiography that surprised us in a lot of really great ways.
