Madonna: the undisputed queen of pop. "People thought one day they would wake up and I wouldn’t be there anymore. But they were wrong: I will never leave." "I would never have become who I am if I hadn’t had all those outdated rules to rebel against."
Madonna: singer and actress, dancer and writer, mother and multidisciplinary artist. This illustrated biography is the well-deserved ode to an unrepeatable and vast genius and to a unique career full of notorious controversies, timeless hits, brilliant marketing strategies, and dozens of songs that form the soundtrack of several generations.

A woman who has dethroned eternal icons by breaking their records.
