Access to this male-dominated world for female musicians and fans was not easy, and only women who adapted to their male counterparts' standards and codes were accepted, as attested by Girlschool and Rock Goddess, the only notable all-female heavy metal bands of that era.
O acceso a este mundo dominado por homes para as músicas e afeccionadas femininas non era doado, e só as mulleres que se adaptaban ós códigos e estándares dos seus homólogos masculinos conseguían ser aceptadas, coma sucedeu nos casos de Girlschool e Rock Goddess, os dous grupos completamente femininos máis notables desa época.
