Sisters with Transistors

Electronic music's unsung heroines

69%(19)IMDbDocumentaryHistoryMusic

While electronic music is often perceived as a boys' club, the truth is that from the very beginning women have been integral in inventing the devices, techniques and tropes that would define the shape of sound for years to come.
