Good Female Fronted Classic Rock?

When I think of classic rock with female vocals I often think Janis Joplin. Maybe Fleetwood Mac. Obviously bands like Jefferson Airplane and Joan Jett but, what I'm really curious about is, were there female rock bands before their time? Such as before the 60's or, perhaps in the 60's as well.

I know a lot of older pop artists like The Carpenters, The Shangri Las (kinda pop rock) Nancy Sinatra, and Etta James etc. but, rarely can I find something a little more rock an roll.

So does it exist? I'm sure there are bands out there but, are there ones really worth mentioning? Some undergroud stuff would be really cool. Also, it's really annoying that like 90% of the songs were about love at that time so I'd like to avoid that as well personally but, feel free to post anything you think fits the bill.
