From humble beginnings in Bay City, Michigan, to the undisputed throne of world pop music, Madonna - Queen. Rebel. Icon. is a vibrant and profound account of a woman who rewrote the rules of entertainment, fashion, sexuality and being a woman in the modern world.
With $35 in her pocket and a glowing dream, Louise Veronica Ciccone landed in New York in 1978 and ignited a cultural revolution. This book, structured in 12 intense and passionate chapters, explores the crucial stages of her career: the early pop beats, the provocation of Like a Prayer, the audacity of Erotica, the spiritual rebirth with Ray of Light, motherhood, the battles against time and aging, to the mysterious alter ego of Madame X.
Beyond the spotlight, Madonna is a portrait of a warrior who has faced grief, scandal, transformation and downfall, never ceasing to fight for her creative and personal freedom. Through music, film, art, provocation and philanthropy, Madonna has left an indelible imprint on contemporary culture.
A book for those who love her, for those who have judged her, for those who want to understand why Madonna is not just an artist, but an entire language.
