Story
Connection is a Song is a journey through the sounds of the 1990s; the story of a life-defining love of music and the tracks that shaped this girl's adventures through the decade. It travels from the impossibly mournful 'Nothing Compares 2 U' by Sinead O'Connor to the delirium of the KLF's '3 a.m. Eternal' via the cartoon swagger of EMF's 'Unbelievable', Madonna's terrifyingly sexy 'Vogue' and the guitar indie heart of the '90s where Elastica's 'Connection' beats Blur and Oasis in Anna's own Battle of Britpop.

In this frank and funny memoir, written for the thousands of women who have asked her to tell them 'how she did it', the doyenne of magazine publishing, Jane Raphaely, tells a great deal more than the her story of women's magazines. Jane's story is indeed stranger than fiction. Having lived through a war in England and grown up in a rough neighborhood, with a demon aunt and a difficult father, Jane Mullins learnt how to 'smile and wave', one of many survival tactics she passes on in this memoir.

Small acts of courage matter. Sometimes, they change the world. Our history books are filled with the stories of those who fought for democracy and freedom—for idealism itself—against all odds, from Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. These iconic struggles for social change illustrate the importance of engagement and activism, and offer a template for the battles we are fighting today. But using the right words is often easier than taking action; action can be hard, and costly.
