Grace Slick: The Biography, Barbara Rowes, 1980

"This is the authorized biography of the longest-reigning first lady of rock, Grace Slick. It is her story - growing up as a child of the middle class, marriage to the boy next door, discovering and creating music, finally emerging as one of the strongest voices of the sixties counterculture, and living through and conquering the crises of the seventies. Also it is the story of a rock band, an anarchic collection of talented individuals collectively known as the Jefferson Airplane, who grew and changed, split up and regrouped, redefined as Jefferson Starship."
