In 1981, women’s liberation magazine Spare Rib put Grace Jones, X-Ray Spex singer Poly Styrene and Gina from The Raincoats on the cover for their Woman and Popular Music issue.

John Lennon’s ‘Woman’ was one of the biggest selling singles worldwide and Duran Duran caused controversy with the release of their ‘Girls on Film’ music video.

In London, 21-year-old photographer Anita Corbin captured the images of girls in youth clubs, nightclubs, on marches and in their homes for her ‘Visible Girls’ series of double portraits.

These photographs uploaded to the People’s History of Pop capture the diverse subcultures across London in the 1980s from a young women’s point of view.

Over 30 years have passed since Anita took the original photographs and she needs your help tracking them down.

Did you party and pose with Jill and her friend at the Blitz? 

Do you remember the Two Mod girls on Oxford Street?

POP FACT: Aneka was the only solo female artist to have a U.K Number 1 single in 1981 with her hit ‘Japanese boy’.
