The Runaways

The Runaways were an all-female rock band formed in the mid-1970s, known for their rebellious attitude and raw sound. Featuring future rock icons Joan Jett and Lita Ford, the band gained attention with songs like "Cherry Bomb" and "Queens of Noise," blending punk and hard rock influences.

Though they faced industry skepticism and only had moderate commercial success, The Runaways paved the way for female rock musicians and are now regarded as pioneers of women in rock. Their music and image influenced later artists, proving that women could command the same energy and aggression as their male counterparts.
