Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

well, more than that, further down she says:

 Interviewing people 
 
It has been interesting. I am writing a book
called The Lost Women of Rock, about female players of rock
instruments in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ages ago, I
interviewed a whole bunch of people- Gina Birch (The Raincoats), Lora
Logic (Essential Logic), Vi Subversa (Poison Girls), Enid Williams
(Girlschool), Lucy O'Brien (Catholic Girls), members of Dollymixture
and The Gymslips, Poly Styrene, and also John Peel and Geoff Travis.
In the last couple of weeks I have caught up with some people I
didn't talk to earlier- Tessa Pollitt from The Slits, June Miles-
Kingston (Mo-Dettes, Funboy 3) and Gaye Black (The Adverts). What a
responsibility, to put it all together. I hope I do them justice! A
good side effect is that June is auditioning for The Slits, who are
going to get back together; but now, I have to sit down and write.
Problem is, the computer is in the same room as my guitar, which
keeps flirting with me!
