We're talking about women in music, specifically all-girl bands, and we're joined by someone who used to be in an all-girl band, former Aquanettas drummer Stephanie Seymour! We cover the gamut -- we talk about our favorite all-girl bands, what the term "girl group" means to us, why we label women in music, and how we can celebrate women's contributions to music without putting them in a separate category.  Who are some of your favorite female artists?
