Details: "Punk Women: 40 Years of Musicians Who Built Punk Rock," by David A Ensminger with a foreword from Philadelphia-based Katy Otto (Trophy Wife). Published by Microcosm! Paperback book, 2021. Paperback, (8.5" l x 5.5" w x 0.3" h) 192 pages.

Description: "In this far-reaching anthology, David Ensminger delves underground to explore the oft-overlooked community of badass women who shaped the punk scene. There is a common thread of women being excluded and gatekept from the hardcore music scene but this anthology challenges that notion and shows that women have still been able to overcome, kick-ass, and shred alongside the best of them. Biographies, interviews, band anecdotes, and never-before-published photos showcase the talent and artistry of bands like Bikini Kill, The Guttersluts, Bratmobile, Spitboy, the Germs, The Slits, and dozens more. Through its intimate aesthetic analysis and raw zine-like presentation, this is an essential resource for anyone looking to discover, rediscover, and cherish punk history.  Includes a foreword by Katy Otto of Trophy Wife."
