"It’s shocking to discover that Siouxsie Sioux was punched in the face, and members of The Slits were beaten-up and stabbed in the street, simply because they were punks. These are first hand accounts from Sioux and The Slits’ Viv Albertine, in a programme that explores the way in which the punk movement empowered women and girls who were audacious enough to kick against the pricks and the endemic sexism of the 1970s."
