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

["Dina Hornreich" <dina8 AT cox.net>]

Oh how lovely this book will be!! I hope it will come into fruition. We 
should invite this woman to join TG!

BTW, in Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds acknowledges several 
members of this list (in addition to the Joly mention on p.39) -- Dan, 
Jason, Mike! Thanks guys for contributing the book has been a fun read, thus 
far. Anyone know any differences between the US and UK versions?
