Rock'n'roll was a man's world they say. The film documents the often ignored female impact on rock's history, from the groundbreaking guitar stylings of Memphis Minnie and Sister Rosetta to the gnarly singing of Big Mama Thornton. Musicians as different as Suzi Quatro and Kristin Hersh tell about their experiences on and off the grid of stardom and the music industry.

Hardly any other world star has left such a profound mark on people's hearts and on music history. This documentary traces the influence of an exceptional artist and follows the paths she paved for a new generation of Black artists.
