On May 13th, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will launch their new Women Who Rock exhibit. It will spotlight more than 60 artists and fill two floors of the museum. The exhibit will feature artifacts, video and listening stations, as well as a recording booth where visitors can film a short story or moment of inspiration related to women in rock. The exhibit will have a section just for women in punk and post-punk rock, noting:

Chrissie Hynde said, "That was the beauty of the punk thing: [Sexual] discrimination didn't exist in that scene." The DIY aspect of punk rock made it easier for a woman to find a place in music. Highlighted artists will include Yoko Ono, Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson of the B-52s, Deborah Harry, Tina Weymouth, Kim Deal and Marianne Faithful.
