Women are in the center of the ‘70s mainstream, from Joan Jett and the Runaways, Heart and Fleetwood Mac to Donna Summer. The gains of the feminist movement throughout the ‘70s enabled women working in all areas of the music industry to assume more control over their careers.

Among the artifacts that will be displayed are:

  • Stevie Nicks’ handwritten lyrics to “Stand Back”
