The critics of this show are too harsh. Do they realise how hard it would be to get top rock stars, who live far and wide, to be interviewed? It would have been a logistical nightmare.
But they manage to snare a succession of great artists like Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Tina Weymouth, Kate Pearson, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crowe, Ann and Nancy Wilson and Pat Benatar.
That's a pretty good line-up!
You also realise just how hard these woman would have had to work to overcome the sexist culture of rock amid male musicians, producers, fans, etc.
And to be taken seriously.
Often they would have been the only woman performer in their bands. Chaka Khan tells how she would remind her band that she was boss.
I'm glad this doco recognises a very confident, brave array of women.
