Nobody has an easy road in Rock and Roll and sadly, men have made it more difficult for women who deserve to be recognized for more than their appearance. It's an age-old issue that Lee has battled her entire career. She shares insights on parenting in a musical household, her journey as a trailblazer for women in rock, and the dynamics of working with family. The discussion also touches on the significance of sisterhood in the industry, and her aspirations for the future of her music and legacy.
