first non-manufactured all female group who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. Is that true?
No.
The original 1976 line up of the Slits was:
vocalist Ari Up (Ariana Foster), drummer Palmolive (Paloma Romera) guitarist Kate Korus and bassist Suzi Gutsy.
The GoGos weren't formed until 1978.
I'm sure there are many earlier examples, but I was reading an interview with Ari Up last night - so the Slits are the first act to spring to mind :)
