Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville

Although "Exile in Guyville" was grudgingly celebrated as one of 1990's top records by "Spin" and the "New York Times", it was also some people's idea of an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones' revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent, strong young woman. This title presents a re-assessment of this album.

Although Exile in Guyville was celebrated as one of the year's top records by Spin and the New York Times, it was also, to some, an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones' most revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd, independent, strong young woman. For these crimes, Liz Phair was run out of her hometown of Chicago, enduring a flame war perpetrated by writers who accused her of being boring, inauthentic, and even a poor musician.

With Exile in Guyville, Phair spoke for all the girls who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of art, Exile was a harbinger of the shape of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ego, but she also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the female artists who have benefited from her work—from Sleater-Kinney to Lana Del Rey and back again—it's high time we go back to Guyville.
