In an effort to create “space for women who have been underrepresented, misrepresented, marginalized and/or omitted from rock history”, the Women of Rock Oral History project was founded.
The work of Ada Comstock Scholar Tanya Pearson brought her to Smith’s new Rosenthal Fellowship program.
This panel features some of the women she interviewed as part of her oral history project: June Millington (Fanny), Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses/ 50 Foot Wave), JD Samson (Le Tigre/MEN), Alice Bag (The Bags), Julie Cafritz Pussy Galore / Free Kitten), Kim House (Kim and The Created)
This was recorded on October 22nd, 2015 in The Carroll Room at Smith College.
