ITEM OVERVIEW
Somewhat similar to "Pretty In Punk," in that this thick pamphlet was originally produced for a postgraduate degree, it is nevertheless an excellent collection of interviews with women involved in the (UK) punk scene. Along the way, it discusses a brief history of women in punk, the conventional image of femininity, experiences of discrimination, the affiliation process, the everyday lives of female punks, the female role within punk, feminism and sexism within punk, and a whole lot more. Eminently readable, and food for thought (and enjoyment) for a lot more folks than just the punks!
