Celebrate three decades of the ground-breaking album Jagged Little Pill with this stunning volume featuring photos, interviews, insightful analysis, and celebrity quotes. On June 13, 1995, 21-year-old Alanis Morissette released Jagged Little Pill, an existential awakening of sexuality, a rail against sexism, and a confessional catch-all of topics related to anxiety, depression, angst, eating disorders, religious dogma, and beauty standards. In an era coming off the high of the '80s and '90s pop machine, Alanis was a total about-face, peeling off the sheen of what female music leads could be.
