The Riot Grrrl movement wasn’t just about music—it was a call to arms. Emerging in the early 1990s, this grassroots feminist punk movement gave voice to young women who were fed up with the male-dominated rock scene. With DIY ethics, fierce energy, and a refusal to be silenced, Riot Grrrl bands redefined what it meant to be a woman in music, inspiring generations of female musicians to pick up electric guitars and make themselves heard.

NAMM 2025 was a game-changing moment for Venus Guitars as we proudly introduced the world to our revolutionary line of guitars. We showcased three stunning models—the Venus Revolution Elite in Blue Morpho and Dark Roast finishes, and our Venus Revolution model in Galaxy White with a changeable pickguard for ultimate customization.

Did you know a woman’s hands are 10% smaller, and her arms are 8% shorter than a man’s? These and many more differences impact how women play and experience the guitar. Venus Guitars were designed with these facts in mind, creating instruments that are lighter, more ergonomic, and perfectly tailored for female players. Learn how science and thoughtful design come together to empower women in music.
