my parameters weren't arbitrary, the point i'm making is that prior to punk (i.e. 1976, and the first time their was any kind of direct challenge to the male domination of rock n roll) to see a woman playing an instrument in a band was very rare, it is still not the case that the number of women playing in rock bands is in equal proportion to the number of women who make up the audience of rock music.
i don't need to research this, but you clearly do as firstly a good deal of the bands you mentioned are post '76, secondly a good deal of them aren't rock n roll (and please explain what nina simone has to do with punk?), and the majority that remain are singers, i.e. what was then considered the only acceptable place for a woman in a band, i.e. the men were in charge of everything else.
and lastly, most of those are so obscure that they are irrelevant to anyone but internet nerds and serious record collectors, oh, and 9 year olds going to summer camp.
