Maggie Nichols, co-founder of the pioneering Feminist Improvising Group, talks about what it was like to be a female musician working in the industry before women's liberation in the 1970s. Part of a special Late Junction collaboration session assembled to mark International Women's Day and celebrate the female musical collective. Members of notable performance collectives, past and present, met at Maida Vale studios to improvise, record and discuss their experiences as women in sound. Alongside Maggie, the line-up for this one-off ensemble featured Verity Susman, who was in experimental-alt-rock band Electrelane between 1998 and 2007; and Amble Skuse, a current member of the multi-location Orchestra For Females And Laptops, aka OFFAL.
