A timely essay collection, Andrea Warner’s We Oughta Know: How Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah Ruled the ’90s and Changed Music (ECW Press $24.95) revisits the legacies of Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan—four Canadian women who reshaped ’90s music while facing media ridicule. Despite topping charts and breaking sales records, they were dismissed in an era dominated by male-fronted acts. Blending empathy, humor, and personal reflections, Warner expands on her 2015 book of a slightly different title, We Oughta Know: How Four Women Ruled the ‘90s and Changed Canadian Music, offering fresh perspectives on how these artists revolutionized music, inspired a generation, and influenced today’s pop stars. As society reevaluates the treatment of women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know reclaims their cultural impact with insight and wit. 9781770417748
