This Friday, March 1, officially kicks off Women's History Month. And that's why this Thursday, we spotlight the women of punk, post punk, and new wave on Transmission. Talk about groundbreakers — the 70s and 80s were full of them, many of whom are still out there rocking today. I'm especially psyched to host this one.
