Women have made significant contributions to punk
rock music and its subculture since its inception in
the 1970s.[1][2] In contrast to the rock music and
heavy metal scenes of the 1970s, which were
dominated by men, the anarchic, counter-cultural
mindset of the punk scene in mid-and-late 1970s
encouraged women to participate. This participation
played a role in the historical development of punk
music, especially in the US and UK at that time, and
continues to influence and enable future
generations.[3] Women have participated in the punk
scene as lead singers, instrumentalists, as all-female
bands, zine contributors and fashion designers. [4]

Rock historian Helen Reddington wrote that the

popular image of young punk women musicians as
focused on the fashion aspects of the scene (Fishnet
stockings, spiky hair, etc.) was stereotypical. She
Patti Smith
states that many, if not all women punks were more
interested in the ideology and socio-political
implications, rather than the fashion.[5][6] Music historian
Caroline Coon contends that before punk, women in rock
music were virtually invisible; in contrast, in punk, she
argues, "It would be possible to write the whole history of
punk music without mentioning any male bands at all – and I
think a lot of [people] would find that very surprising."[7][8]

Johnny Rotten wrote that "During the Pistols era, women

were out there playing with the men, taking us on in equal
terms ... It wasn’t combative, but compatible."[9] Chrissie
Hynde echoed similar sentiments when discussing her start in
the punk scene, "That was the beauty of the punk thing:
sexual discrimination didn't exist in that scene."[10] The anti-
establishment stance of punk opened the space for women Chrissie Hynde, 2013
who were treated like outsiders in a male-dominated industry.
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon states, "I think women are natural anarchists, because you're

always operating in a male framework."[11] Others take issue
with the notion of equal recognition, such as guitarist Viv
Albertine, who stated that "the A&R men, the bouncers, the
sound mixers, no one took us seriously.. So, no, we got no
respect anywhere we went. People just didn't want us
around."[12][13]

Main article: Women in music
Musicologist Caroline Polk O'Meara has written that female experience, feminism and
taking a pro-woman stance empowered women's participation in punk rock beginning in
the 1970s.[14] In popular music, there has been a gendered "distinction between public
(male) and private (female) participation" in music.[15] "[S]everal scholars have argued that
men exclude women from bands or from the bands' rehearsals, recordings, performances,
and other social activities."[16] "Women are mainly regarded as passive and private
consumers of allegedly slick, prefabricated – hence, inferior – pop music..., excluding them
from participating as high status rock musicians."[16] One of the reasons that mixed gender
bands were traditionally rare was that "bands operate as tight-knit units in which
homosocial solidarity – social bonds between people of the same sex... – plays a crucial
role."[16] In the 1960s pop music scene, "[s]inging was sometimes an acceptable pastime for
a girl, but playing an instrument...simply wasn't done."[17] Punk is more of a subculture
than a widely popular genre of music, which is why women may have been drawn to it
beginning in the late 1970s.

In the UK, the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975 allowed women the same access to jobs as
men. Some men thought that this legislation put them at a loss and felt that women were
taking away positions that traditionally belonged to men. This, and the election of Margaret
Thatcher, led many young women who felt disenfranchised to the up-and-coming punk
rock music scene. Artists like Suzi Quatro are considered to be major influences in the early
British punk culture. Quatro refused to be sexualized by the media and indirectly dealt with
the issue of sexism by embracing a tough, rocker persona while producing music that could
thrive in the mainstream. Bands like X-Ray Spex and The Slits took this feminist rock
culture and combined it with a more two-fisted style of music.[4] This genre reflected on
social, cultural and political changes of the United Kingdom at the time,[5] and continued
to do so in other locations.

In the US, women such as Exene Cervenka and Joan Jett made contributions to the Los
Angeles punk scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Cervenka's aggressive style and her
non-conventional looks drew more young women to the scene since it was inclusive.[18]
Many of these women sought to fight public sexual harassment and encourage body
positive attitudes through their music. Leather jackets, short skirts, fishnets and choker
necklaces were part of the punk style and culture. This style made many punk women
targets for sexual harassment in the streets. They often spent much time outside waiting
for shows, smoking, and meeting with one another, which created a kind of vulnerability.
Women punk musicians retaliated by educating the young girls involved in the scene,
taking legal action, and writing songs on the matter.[19] While punk in New York City and
San Francisco emerged in the 1970s, the Los Angeles scene was arguably at its strongest
point in the eighties, as a response to the conservative push for a more moral America by
Ronald Reagan's administration. Mainstream rock such as Christopher Cross or Hall and
Oates did not tend to address political issues, which left a space for rebels like Joan Jett
and Blondie within the charts. [4]

The feminist ideologies of punk rock in the 1970s and 1980s [19][5] persevered into the
1990s via the Riot grrrl movement in the Washington, D.C. area. Riot Grrrl addressed
more than the sexism of punk culture alone. Rather, the movement applied feminism on a
broader scale by taking on issues such as sexual assault, systematic sexism, and the idea
that sex is taboo for women. Riot Grrrl began by primarily using homemade magazines,
known as zines, and group meetings. Eventually, the movement developed into a genre of
music that was more aggressive than the mainstream rock of the decade. This genre
reflected the same values as the zines. It was within this era that the LGBT community
began to use punk rock as an outlet for advocacy as well. Groups from the early 21st
century such as Pussy Riot and Panty Raiders combine feminist and queer values in their
music and films.[19]

The constant push for gender equality over three decades has resulted in a more inclusive
punk rock culture that is no longer divided by sex. No Doubt is one example of this
accepting culture. They are a co-ed musical group with a female singer who addresses
feminist issues. One of No Doubt's songs, "Just a Girl", made it to the Billboard Hot 100,
peaking at number 23 back in 1995. Sleater-Kinney and Le Tigre are groups known to mix
feminist ideologies with other social justice themes. Following George W. Bush's
administration's response to tragedies like Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, these female-
headed groups offered political criticism through politicized songs. Sleater-Kenny's song,
"Combat Rock," was anti-war in nature and directly criticized the U.S. government's
decisions regarding the Middle East.[20]

"The rebellion of rock music was largely a male rebellion; the women—often, in the 1950s
and '60s, girls in their teens—in rock usually sang songs as personæ utterly dependent on
their macho boyfriends...". Philip Auslander says that "Although there were many women
in rock by the late 1960s, most performed only as singers, a traditionally feminine position
in popular music". Though some women played instruments in American all-female garage
rock bands, none of these bands achieved more than regional success. So they "did not
provide viable templates for women's on-going participation in rock".[21]:2–3 In relation to
the gender composition of heavy metal bands, it has been said that "[h]eavy metal
performers are almost exclusively male"[22] "...[a]t least until the mid-1980s" [23] apart from
"...exceptions such as Girlschool."[22] However, "...now [in the 2010s] maybe more than
ever–strong metal women have put up their dukes and got down to it",[24] "carv[ing] out a
considerable place for [them]selves."[25]

When Suzi Quatro emerged in 1973, "no other prominent female musician worked in rock
simultaneously as a singer, instrumentalist, songwriter, and bandleader".[21]:2 According to
Auslander, she was "kicking down the male door in rock and roll and proving that a female
musician ... and this is a point I am extremely concerned about ... could play as well if not
better than the boys".[21]:3

Riot Grrrl

Riot grrrl is an underground feminist hardcore punk
movement that originally started in the early 1990s, in
Washington, D.C.,[58] and the greater Pacific Northwest,
noticeably in Olympia, Washington.[59] It is often associated
with third-wave feminism, which is sometimes seen as its
starting point. It has also been described as a musical genre
that came out of indie rock, with the punk scene serving as an
inspiration for a musical movement in which women could
express themselves in the same way men had been doing for
the past several years.[60]

Riot grrrl bands often address issues such as rape, domestic

abuse, sexuality, racism, patriarchy, and female

empowerment. Bands associated with the movement include
Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy, Excuse 17, Huggy
Bear, Cake Like, Skinned Teen, Emily's Sassy Lime, Sleater-
Kinney, and also queercore groups like Team Dresch.[61][62] In
addition to a music scene and genre, riot grrrl is a subculture
involving a DIY ethic, zines, art, political action, and
activism.[63] Riot grrrls are known to hold meetings, start
chapters, and support and organize women in music.[64]

Some groups that participated in the Riot grrrl movement

encouraged men to stand near the back during concerts to
allow women their own space near the front.[65] Many
members of the punk rock community considered this and
other methods of Riot grrrl to be too radical. Due to this,
another feminist movement emerged in the East Bay. One
group, Spitboy, pushed their feminist values through
integration rather than division. They played at venues such
as 924 Gilman Street, which banned sexism and sexual

Other artists

Other prominent female or female-fronted acts on the 2010s punk scene included Maid of
Ace,[133][134] dragSTER,[135][136] IDestroy,[137][138] Océ Cheapfret of The Bolokos [139][140]
and Cryptic Street.[141][142]

Fashion
A designer associated with early UK punk fashion in the 1970s was Vivienne Westwood,
who made clothes for Malcolm McLaren's boutique in the King's Road, which became
famous as "SEX". Other designers included Wendy Gawitz and Kate Buck of "Eccentric
Clothing" in Collingwood; Melbourne, Australia designers Julie Purvis and Jillian Burt,
and fellow Australians Kate Durham and Sara Thorn.[143]

Women in the hardcore punk scene typically wore army pants, band T-shirts, and hooded
sweatshirts.[144] The style of the 1980s hardcore scene contrasted with the more
provocative fashion styles of late 1970s punk rockers (elaborate hairdos, torn clothes,
patches, safety pins, studs, spikes, etc.).

In 2013 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York organized the historical exhibition,
PUNK: Chaos to Couture, featuring clothing worn and/or fabricated by punk musicians, as
well as designers such as Vivenne Westwood, Rodarte, Ann Demeulemeester, Katharine
Hamnett and others. [145] A comprehensive exhibition catalog, designed by Pentagram was
produced by the museum, and distributed by Yale University Press.[146]

Social change
The Mexico City-based punk rock collective, Hijas de Violencia (the Daughters of Violence)
conduct street performances to combat harassment of women.[147] A precursor was Chavas
Activas Punks (CHAP)'s, a women's collective that formed in the Mexico City pun
community in 1987. The anthropologist, Maritza Urteaga Castro-Prozo writes of their
protests against the "hostility and rejection they experienced from male counterparts." She
goes on to write that while they had "little acquaintance with feminist theory" their lyrics
and fanzine focused on gender discrimination and sexuality.[148]

Pussy Riot's lyrical themes include feminism, LGBT rights, and government opposition.
The collective considers Russian President Vladimir Putin, to be a dictator, and oppose his
policies.[149][150]

Some women in punk rock have used their music and lyrics as platforms for feminist
ideologies, and to oppose the sexualization of female musicians and societal policing of
women's bodies and sexual agency.[151] As early as the 1960s, women in rock were often
considered as sex objects and their capabilities and talent were often undermined while
male producers were credited for their music.[151] Some women punk and riot grrrl lyrics
called for women to challenge the patriarchy and rape culture such as 7 Year Bitch's song
Dead Men Don't Rape. Bikini Kill expressed the need for a revolution in pursuit of
disrupting the patriarchy, for example their song, Rebel Girl.[152] Some musicians lyrics
expressed themes of queer liberation as in Gossip's Where the Girls Are.[152] Conventional
expectations of women's roles were challenged, for example, in The Slits' Typical Girl, that
sarcastically addressed stereotypes of women as being "too emotional".[153] Riot grrrl
artists and their punk predecessors not only fought for women, but for the LGBTQIA+
community, animal rights, and human rights in general.[152] Queer individuals are present
in the punk scene, not only for the music, but possibly because of the solidarity brought
about by feeling like outcasts, living on the fringes of society. Punk, as non-normative as it
has traditionally been, has (in some cases) become a safe haven for many unaccepted
individuals, including queer people. Punks and the punk lifestyle are often outside of the
realm of normative culture, and the same can be said for queer individuals.[154] The
discomfort in this outcast identity may bring feelings of solidarity for people in punk
scenes, queer and otherwise.[154]
