The Ovarian Sisters were an Australian feminist band active in the 1970s and 1980s.
They formed in 1977 and first performed to support a public meeting about abortion rights. The group initially used British and American songs by various artists, re-writing the lyrics to suit the messages they wanted to convey. It wasn't so much of a band as much as a collective with many participants.
In 1979, the group was refined to six members, and they started writing their own original songs.
👆This is just a snippet of info taken from their Wikipedia page. It's real neat. :)

Joy is a constant practice.

POC, Woman, & Queer Punk/Rock/Metal Bands
i’m sick of listening to old cishet white dudes sing all the time, so here are some of my more diverse favs!
links lead to spotify
Cinnamon Babe - A band with Stormi Maya on vocals, I recommend listening to her songs Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Black and Loose.
Dazey and the Scouts - A queer band. Their song Sweet Cis Teen explores gender dysphoria as an AFAB person, I really resonate with it. Groan is another one of my favorites.
Cheap Perfume - A riot grrrl type band, their songs are based around unapologetic feminism. I would recommend starting off with It’s Okay to Punch Nazis and Slut Game Strong.
Kittie - An all female metal band with some really great vocals. I really enjoy their song Choke.
Katja Macabre - A feminist metal artist who only has about 400 listeners monthly on spotify. They really deserve more love, so go listen to their song Compliments.
Doll Skin - A long time fav of mine, the songs I listen to the most are Love Is Dead and We Killed Her and Mark My Words. (they just had their final show unfortunately, linked here is a recording of the full set tho!)
VIAL - An indie punk band which I got into fairly recently. I really enjoy Piss Punk and Ego Death.
Dog Park Dissidents - A queer punk band that I think is really cool. I can’t stop listening to Queer as in Fuck You.
Dream Nails - Another queer punk band! My favs are Corporate Realness and Vagina Police.
Cable Ties - Their vocals are so unique, I’m not even sure how to describe them. My fav songs are Self Made Man and Say What You Mean, as well as Hope (which i found through a game on itch.io)
Witch Fever - I’ve been enjoying their song In Birth recently!
Mannequin Pussy - I just saw them live, and now they’re one of my favorite bands. The energy they created in the room quite literally moved me to tears. I’m in the process of listening to all their music right now but my current favorites are Romantic, Control, and Pigs is Pigs.
i will be adding more to this when i get the time, feel free to give me suggestions (i really appreciate all the recommendations you all are giving me)
