In 1995 the estrogen-powered indie label Candy Ass Records released a monumental and highly influential compilation devoted to female empowerment, complete with a 75-page booklet with stories and self-defense tips.  This episode features the entire 2-LP set (featuring the likes of LOIS, TEAM DRESCH, and pre-SLEATER-KINNEY bands HEAVENS TO BETSY and EXCUSE 17), along with highlights from the booklet read by host The Rock’N’Roll Nurse.  Grrrrl power NOW!, fellow womyn-loving geeks!
