"Hit Girls: Women of Punk in the USA, 1975-1983"/Jen B. Larson [Episode 112]

Jen B Larson is on the podcast to talk about her new book called “Hit Girls: Women of Punk in the USA, 1975-1983”. “Hit Girls” is the story of local and regional US bands whose legacy would be otherwise lost.

Larson dispels the narrative that women are anomalies in rock music. In fact, women have played important roles in every city and every scene all over the country yet few if any know about most of them. The women in this book are now rightfully exalted to cult status. Their achievements are inspiring new generations of women rockers and you’ll hear from them in this book, which also features over 100 rare and never-before seen images.
