Description

In this exhaustive anthology, David Ensminger delves underground to explore the oft-overlooked community of badass women who shaped the punk scene. There's a common thread of women being excluded and gatekept from the hardcore music scene, but this anthology challenges that notion and shows that women have still been able to overcome, kick ass, and shred alongside the best of them.

Biographies, interviews, band anecdotes, and never-before-published photos showcase the talent and artistry of bands like Bikini Kill, The Glittersluts, Bratmobile, Spitboy, the Germs, The Slits, and dozens more.
