We hope you've enjoyed this CREEM Close-Up devoted to women in rock. Of course, this magazine could only begin to hint at the recent advancements made by women in a formerly male-oriented medium, and we imagine someday soon we ll see a female performer as big and immensely popular as some of yesterday's most famous rock superstars.

We hope you've enjoyed this CREEM Close-Up devoted to women in rock. Of course, this magazine could only begin to hint at the recent advancements made by women in a formerly male-oriented medium, and we imagine someday soon we ll see a female performer as big and immensely popular as some of yesterday's most famous rock superstars. It's refreshing to see men and women sharing the spotlight and creativity together in bands like X, Gang Of Four and Talking Heads, and, as we write this, Fleetwood Mac—a band that showcases two women—is number one on the American album charts.
If rock is truly the real populist art form." as many critics have pointed out, it's fitting that rock should be created by people of both sexes working together. And if rock is to remain the liberating force many once considered it to be. it's only fitting that the music scene is working to tear down some of the barriers and stereotypes that have plagued humanity for years. And just for the record: Phyllis Schlafly is a noted rock 'n' roll hater from way back. Nuff said!
