List of all-female bands

(Redirected from List of all-women bands)

This is an alphabetized list of notable all-female bands, of all genres, and is a spin-off list from the all-female band article. It is an overview of notable all-female bands that have their own articles. A band is a group of musicians who are organized for ensemble playing. An all-female band is a band which has consisted entirely of female musicians for at least three-quarters of its active career.

This article only lists all-female bands who perform original material that is either authored by themselves or authored by another musician for that band's use. Therefore vocal groups (girl groups) are not included. All-female tribute acts, cover bands and fictional all-female bands, such as those created for scripted television programs, are also not included.
