When you think about women who have been real trailblazers in rock and roll, the list is likely to include (in chronological order) names like Ronnie Spector, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde, The Motels, Hole, Sinead O’Connor or Liz Phair. Your list pretty much depends on your age, your musical tastes and your rock and roll IQ. Male or female, we all have one. (We’ll direct you to some published ones, but more about that later.) In this issue, we’re going to take a backward view of women’s’ contributions in a world pretty much dominated by males. Then, fast forward to the here and now, where you’ll read profiles of three women who bring girl power to life – Gwen Stefani’s “sound guy”, Michelle Sobalchick, singer-songwriter Alice Peacock and lead singer Brett Anderson of the groundbreaking The Donnas.
