Well, what's your angle? From the bands you've chosen so far, it looks mostly like punk-flavoured grunge to me. If that's it, maybe you could include Babes in Toyland, No Doubt and perhaps Free Kitten.
Women in punk would be more interesting I think. You could write about early female punkers from the 70s like Pattie Smith, The Raincoats, The Castrators and The Slits .. Or Siouxsie Sioux. I think they're interesting because they played punk, but they didn't do it like the guys were doing it. They definetly made it their own with a feminine touch.
The Donnas are so boring in comparison!
