"When I was about seven, I discovered the Go-Go's," said American actress and author Drew Barrymore in an essay published by the magazine "V". "I went out and bought their album "Beauty and the Beat" and, as the vinyl twirled, my whole world changed. I stared at the girls on the cover like they were a gateway to cool. The fact that they were girls made me feel not only invited but more important – like I could be a badass too. I looked over to my Pippi Longstocking poster on the wall and thought, Yes! I like girls who rock!"
