    Was any disco, italo, or hi-nrg music made by women?

    One of my lesbian pals asked me if any women produced or created disco/italo/hi-nrg in the 70s or 80s, and I completely drew a blank. I couldn't think of any. Was there any "dance music" that was made by women?

    It depends if the music must be 100% female, but for
    the italodisco here are some women which have
    performed lots of vocals and certainly been working
    with the compositions too.

    Simona Zanini
    Clara Moroni
    Dora Carofiglio
    Ivana Spagna

    No female producer comes into my mind as well.

    female producers/ disco

    The one that comes to mind was Polydor/Butterly Canadian disco diva Denise McCann, who produced and wrote about 99% of her own songs..

    What about lesbian-seperatist-feminist-Italo-disco? I'm sure there were a few memorable tunes.... which escape me right now... :)

    Sylvia Robinson comes to mind (Shame, Shame, Shame, for Shirley & Co., plus the Sugarhill productions.)

    And if you count woman artists who also wrote and/or produced their own music:

    Donna Summer
    Madonna
    Jane Child
    Janet Jackson
    Cathy Dennis

    She may not have produced hi-nrg but PATRICE RUSHEN wrote + produced some great dance/disco music. A very talented lady.
