Seeing as how rock and roll, especially rock and roll with electric guitars, is stereotyped sometimes as a male only affair, I just thought I'd share some women who make amazing music in rock or otherwise and tip the gender scale. Nobody likes a sausage fest. What is cool about these ladies is that they're not just there to be a pretty face. They actually make some creative contribution to the world of music. Hope you enjoy.
