In Jessie Gaynor’s debut novel, “The Glow,” read by Gabra Zackman, a P.R. rep immerses herself in the woo-woo world of a cultlike “spiritual retreat,” and its enigmatic leader.
On the genre’s 50th anniversary, “The Motherlode” honors contributions by the women, like Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shanté and Megan Thee Stallion, who’ve made it what it is today.
