The Chicago and New Haven Women's Liberation Rock Bands were active from 1969 through 1973. According to the wiki they "sought to challenge the genre of rock music by installing women's voices and feminist-type lyrics into the musical canon." Bassist Susan Abod said "We loved to dance [but] we were dancing to songs that were degrading to us."
Keyboard player Naomi Weisstein said this about the band's live shows: "Every time [we] played, the band summoned up the ecstasy of a utopian vision of a world without hierarchy and domination. Audience and performer, gay and straight, two-year-olds and eighty-two-year-olds, black teenage girls and Latino transvestites: for a moment in history as brief as a shiver, we were, all of us, transformed and astonished."
And their music is excellent! In 2005 Rounder Records released a compilation called Papa Don't Lay That Shit On Me, which there is a YouTube playlist for:

And also here's Prison Song by the Chicago branch, which is not on the compilation.
