Melissa Auf der Maur, former bassist for Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins, has released her memoir, Even the Good Girls Will Cry. The book chronicles her journey through the 1990s alternative rock era, beginning with her upbringing in Montreal.

Auf der Maur details her transition from a local cassette DJ and ticket girl to a prominent figure in the music industry. The narrative covers her experiences touring with Hole during the 1994 Live Through This world tour, following the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Kristen Pfaff. The memoir serves as both a rock history and a personal travel diary, capturing the atmosphere of the final analog decade of music.
