Punk Rock Monday

Viewed as nothing more than a tarted-up gimmick band when they made their debut in the 1970s, the Runaways paved the way for women to be every bit as sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll as the men. They’re also notable for launching the careers of Joan Jett and Lita Ford (although really, who followed Lita’s career?).
