"The premature death of Poly Styrene is a sad occasion for anyone who
knew her or was touched by the extraordinary music that she made under
her own name and with her group X-Ray Spex, who, for a couple of
years, were among the most innovative and trenchant of all the British
punk groups.

It is also an opportunity to reflect on the achievement of Poly and
her peers – Ari Up, Viv Albertine, Tessa Pollitt and Palmolive of the
Slits, Siouxsie of the Banshees, Gaye Advert of the Adverts, Chrissie
Hynde of the Pretenders – who, in a short time, redefined what women
could do as musicians and performers."
