L7

L7 were the most well-known all-female band to emerge from the 1990s grunge revolution. Although they would eventually be eclipsed by Courtney Love's media circus, L7 produced some of the most assured heavy rock of the era. As enigmatic poster-girls for the Women in Rock movement, L7 founded the abortion rights organization Rock for Choice, but looked to such testosterone-fueled bands as Kiss and AC/DC for musical inspiration. They scored a hit in '92 with "Pretend We're Dead," and continued to record and tour into the 2000s.
