She Rocks – The ultimate archive

a collage of she rocks magazine titles

While women tend to rule the worlds of pop and country, like it or not they just aren’t as prominent or successful in rock music. And because they’re not as big, the media (and we’re guilty as charged here) tend to cover those artists less. So, at the start of February, TeamRock, along with Classic Rock, Metal Hammer and Prog Magazine, decided to take this as an opportunity to talk about loads of women from all over rock’s vast spectrum, from the early pioneers to household names, to those just starting out.

Below, we compile the month’s entire array of features…
