Review
"Fascinating, diverse and, most importantly, inspiring - the title alone is as much a rallying cry as a joyous statement of the truth." - Zoe Street Howe, author of Typical Girls? The Story of The Slits and other music titles.
"It's exhilerating to learn about different generations of female musicians from such diverse, strong voices." - Kathleen Hanna
"A very important and timely contribution to the debates about "women in rock". All-girl bands have too often been written off as novelties, and this exciting book sheds new light on an under-researched area." - Lucy O'Brien, She Bop: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul.
