Four Female Punk Bands...

...that changed women's role in rock

Agreed?

Thinking outside of 'female punk bands'...Lydia Lunch tends to be a prominent feature on similar lists of influential punk females (and technically was also in a band albeit not all female) and I can see why.

For me, Katie Jane Garside was always quite influential when I was younger. I guess it might be hard to see her in the same vein as some of the other punk artists but Daisy Chainsaw gets close. I don't ever really see much wrote about her though in retrospectives concerning female musicians of punk or riotgrrl even.
