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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eExile in Guyville\u003c\/i\u003e, Phair spoke for all the girls who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of art, \u003ci\u003eExile\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGina Arnold\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRoute 666: On the Road to Nirvana\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKiss This: Punk in the Present Tense\u003c\/i\u003e.
