Born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone in a 1958 Detroit suburb, even as a kid, she always had that blind ambition. She had the talent, the smarts, the moves and the unerring penchant for pushing the right buttons�be they political, sexual or religious�that moved those to either love her or hate her. And that�s exactly the way she planned it. Two decades later, she still makes music�and headlines.

Wild Angel goes behind the hype to get at the root of her passion for self-reinvention. A cultural icon to millions of young women, Madonna knew which rules to break and which new rules to write. This most successful female recording artist of all time is a Grammy and Golden Globe winner, a singer, songwriter, dancer, drummer, guitarist, actress, author, record producer, film producer and fashionista supreme who has sold over 200 million records. She is also the highest-earning female singer of all time, and holds the record for top-grossing female artist concert tour. Forbes magazine recently estimated her worth at $325 million�all from a girl who lost her mother at age five and came to New York to be a dancer with $35 in her pocket.
