My Females on 45 series is a history lesson on a t-shirt that celebrates the ladies of the music boom of the 50s and 60s, shouting out to the women of the world who blazed trails and did it their own way despite whatever society said they could or could not do.

These were ladies logging national and worldwide hits on wax. Sometimes more hits than their male counter parts! From rhythm and blues to rock and roll to soul and folk, country and pscyh and even world sounds from Jamaica to Brazil to India to Japan. They changed the music landscape forever and for the better.
