In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became legit global superstars and revolutionized ''90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts were given magazine covers, Grammys and Junos, and serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes even as their recordings were demolishing sales records. The world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ''90s entertainment, and We Oughta Know is a crucial part of that conversation. With empathy, humour, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Celine, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Warner offers us a new perspective on the music and legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ''90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current-day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy.
