The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hosted a special edition of its Rock Hall Nights Thursday (3/7) in celebration of its newest exhibit, "Revolutionary Women in Music: Left of Center." Held at the hall's famed Cleveland museum, the event hosted Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's, Shirley Manson of Garbage, Lisa Loeb and guitar virtuoso Malina Moye. Following opening remarks by VP of Curatorial Affairs Shelby Morrison, Loeb performed a three-song acoustic set that included her 1994 #1 hit, "Stay (I Missed You)."

The exhibit officially opened its doors to the public on Friday (3/8), International Women's Day. Other women honored include P!NK, Beyoncé, Meg White, Joan Jett and Suzanne Vega.

Curated by Morrison and Director of Curatorial Affairs Amanda Pecsenye, the show includes artifacts from the Rock Hall’s vault, among them Natalie Merchant’s “Ophelia” video costume, Christina Aguilera’s Stripped Tour wardrobe and pieces from Liz Phair, Queen Latifah, Ani DiFranco, Sleater-Kinney and Kesha.

“As the saying goes, well-behaved women rarely make history—and revolutionary women have often used music and lyrics to take action, convey truth and call for change,” said Morrison. “For generations, women have fought against socially constructed gender norms to obtain equal social, political and economic freedoms, and this exhibit, which has been decades in the making, will tell this story in a way that has never been done before.”
