Girls Invented Punk Rock presents a range of amazing work from female photographers from the late 70s and 80s, to some still carrying the torch in today's punk scene, all focused on the west coast punk movement. The photographs take centerstage, presented in a clean, focused layout, with contextual material that lends a wider scope.

Interviews draw out intention and influences, favorite bands and personalities, and the challenges of operating in a male dominated space, both BITD and today. Ephemera and process-oriented materials from film to equipment further raises the interest, offering a roadmap for someone, anyone, to pick up a camera and DIY.
