For much of her early life, rock critic Jessica Hopper was an ardent fan of punk rock. But despite her passion, she never felt like she quite fit in. That began to change once she started seeing female fronted bands performing onstage. She says the experience convinced her that there was a place for her in music.

She spoke to producer Craig Eley about the various forms of sexism she encountered in her decades-long career as a music journalist.
