List of all-women bands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of all-women bands of any musical genre. All-women bands are musical groups that only contain women members, and who perform all parts of the music including the instrumental components. This is distinct from girl groups, wherein the members are solely vocalists and non-members perform the instrumental components of the music. This is not a list of solo female musicians or singers. Bands on this list should be notable or canonical examples of an all woman band.
