It’s weird that she’s trying to play the feminist card. Neither Stevie nor Christine faced professional challenges because they were women. If anything, being women gave them some advantages. Mike Vernon disproportionately released songs sung by Christine as singles when she was in Chicken Shack, probably in a move to capitalize on the novelty of a woman in a blues band, while Stevie was brought into Fritz because they wanted a woman in the band as was common for San Francisco bands in the late ‘60s. Outside of that, they were equals to the men in their bands before Fleetwood Mac as well as in Fleetwood Mac.
