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

[Cazz Blase <cazz.blase AT gmail.com>]

Hi Sharon,

This is really, really useful for me. Thank you!

I think I can get the Julie Davis book on inter library loan, but can't seem to trace the Virginia Boston one. Have found another one of hers that sounds similar in the British Library though.

I've also had a look at the online Cornell catalogue, and it looks like a brilliant archive. There's loads of Scottish zines in there that look really interesting. 

I probably won't make it to the US though as my budget is pretty much nonexistent, but it may be other archives have some of these titles.

This has certainly given me plenty to work with, so thank you!

Cazz

I wrote about her before

?Punk 77 notes that she did also edit the final edition of Ripped & Torn

?She was great person to know, and a loyal friend to have.

I never have managed to track her down. I must ask Tony D.

I'm really loving this thread...

Cazz, you might want to interview Julie Davis and Virginia Boston for
leads. They authored two early UK zine-like punk books (I bought
these when they came out) - maybe you've already seen them, but if
not you might be able to find them in a library:

-Punk by Julie Davis, 1977
http://www.amazon.com/Punk-Julie-Davis/dp/0860000982
This has lots of Lucy Toothpaste contributions (Slits and X-Ray Spex
interviews, influential piece titled "Girl Bands," and another on
punk & racism/fascism), Sharon Spike's Slits live review, Jane Suck's
Siouxsie interview, and photos by Erica Echenberg. I'm pretty sure
some of these contributions are reprints from zines. Someone named
Sex Ade contributed - don't know who that is.

-Punk Rock by Virginia Boston, 1978
http://www.amazon.com/Punk-Rock-Virgina-Boston/dp/0140049851
This has quotes from lots of zine writers, with some small images of
zine covers. The only ones by women are More On by Sarah in London,
and White Stuff by Sandy Robertson in Scotland. If Sex Ade is female,
she's quoted from her zine New Wave.

Also, if you haven't done this already, and can make it to the U.S.,
you could take a look at Johan Kugelberg's Punk Collection, 1974-86
archive at Cornell Univ. There are a lot of zines, including some
early UK ones edited by women. At the very least, check out the
online finding aid:
http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/EAD/htmldocs/RMM08060.html

good luck with your research!
Sharon
