International Women's Day Annual Playlist

(Image from Here)

Last year, I started #buyingmusiconlybywomen*, I've discovered some brilliant new women artists like Leela Gilday, The Raincoats, Isobel Campbell, Alix Dobkin, Imelda May and Heather Nova. I tweeted it yesterday and got some new (and some old!) suggestions for my Annual International Women's Day Playlist.   

As ever, I haven't actually compiled my annual playlist yet but I'm always looking for more suggestions like the lovely ones below tweeted at me by @planetpavs and @BackgroundSpin
