Any favourite female fronted punk bands? Here are mine:
Vice Squad
Rubella Ballet
FUAL
Mankind?
Hagar The Womb
DIRT
Lost Cherrees
Harum Scarum
Poison Girls
Life Cycle

[DaveRowlands]

Easpa Measa(Ire)
Bettercore(Ned)

Both are Guy Vs Girl style vocals but are amazing.

in tradition of the high fidelitys top 5 mine would be:

1.Blondie
2. Elastica
3. Throwing Muses
4. The Donnas ( early stuff only tho)
5. The Mingers

a bit predictable I know, other than The Mingers

And while not strictly punk (though they were strongly linked with the anarcho punk community), I'm also gonna say Back To The Planet.

Not strictly punk in their sound, but certainly in their ethos.

Certainly.
Actually, Lora McFarlane from SK played (with 99) at Drakes in 1999. The band with which I was involved back then - Collateral Damage, supported.

For me, it would have to be Health Hazard's Mandy. HH played up here in 1994 and I couldn't believe it when this softly-spoken woman introduced the first song politely, then barked like hell down the mic. Top notch.

Bis and ATR had some awesome female vocal led tracks. Anyway, why do female punk bands often have such obviously gender-loaded names? Okay, I know why, just seems a bit of a cliche in some ways. Muh, shut up me.
