THE FUTURE OF FEMALE ROCK!

With the phenomenal success of the Go-Go's Ms. Benatar and the other musical wonder women of the '80s, it appears that the new onslaught of "girl" rockers is just beginning. In the following pages we'd like to introduce you to the current crop of "up-and-coming" female rock artists. From the heavy metal pyrotechnics of Girlschool to the mournful rock torch songs of Martha Davis, these ladies are proving that rock 'n' roll is no longer a man's world. It's been quite an evolution from Shelley Fabares to X's Exene. You've come a long way, baby!
