You Don't Own Me: Grrrl Groups January 26, 2009

On January 26, 2009, 4-6 am Central Standard Time, in Chicago, Illinois on WHPK 88.5 the Pride of the South Side, This is New Radio showcased G[ir]rrl groups.

Reflecting on this show, I wish I would have had included more girl groups and added much more information about each song/artist, since every girl's story is simply fascinating, however, two hours is a temporal constraint, which does not allow such elaboration. But lucky for you, I can offer some insight for those interested in learning more about girl groups.
