Yes, I think there are a lot more these days. Thankfully rock (and metal in particular) is no longer completely dominated by dudes. I'm reluctant to write an article specifically about this at the moment, as I've gotten to that stage where I no longer differentiate between bands based on gender. If they rock, they rock!
Is it just attention bias on my part, or are there a lot more rock/metal bands fronted by women these days?

If they rock, they rock indeed!
