'The Right to Rock' tells the story of Filipino American sisters June and Jean Millington who in the late 19602 formed ferocious garage band Fanny. They were the first all-women band signed to a multi-album major label, and who used this platform to fight racism, sexism, and homophobia. "With members nearing age 70, it’s wonderful to see Fanny connecting with a new generation of listeners" - MJI writes presenting Bobbi Jo Hart’s documentary.

Loudwire chose 22 women and female members of bands that played a large part in laying the foundation for hard rock and metal as well. Next to usual suspects and famous one like Janis Joplin, there are some smaller names - Jinx Dawson from the psychedelic-rock band Coven had a song "Black Sabbath" long before the Birmingham band, and introduced devil horns long before Ronnie James Dio; Fanny were one of the first rock bands, consisting entirely of women, to release an album on a major label; Suzi Quatro - songwriter, bassist, singer, and a band leader, is one of the earliest multifaceted women in rock 'n' roll; Girlschool are the longest-running band consisting entirely of women.
