Often considered the DistaffCounterpart to Music/{{Motorhead}}, Girlschool formed in 1978 right around the time the NewWaveOfBritishHeavyMetal was taking form. They are still going strong after more than 35 years, making them [[LongRunners the world's longest running all-female rock band.]] They boast a global cult following and remain an influence and role model for many female rockers, both professional and amateur. In spite of suffering a bad case of RevolvingDoorBand, original members Kim [=McAuliffe=] and Denise Dufort are still part of the band. In fact, the only reason the full original lineup is no more is due to lead guitarist and singer Kelly Johnson's [[AuthorExistenceFailure death from cancer in 2007.]] The band parted ways with original bassist Enid Williams (again), and recruited Tracey Lamb (again) in 2019.
