List of all-female bands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about female bands which play musical instruments. For vocal groups, see List of girl groups.

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. All-female tribute acts, cover bands and vocal groups, are not included. Fictional all-female bands, such as those created for scripted television programs, are also not included.
