Later Years
After Fanny's break-up, June and Jean Millington formed another short-lived all-women rock group called the L.A. All-Stars. June then turned to studio work, producing records for Holly Near, Mary Watkins, Cris Williamson, Bitch and Animal, John Simon, Diane Lincoln, and Joel Zoss, among others. The Millingtons continued to record together after Fanny as well, most recently on the 2011 album Play Like a Girl on June's label Fabulous Records. June was once described by Guitar Player magazine as the hottest female guitarist in the music industry.
Since the 1970s June Millington has been highly regarded for her work on behalf of women musicians and the LGBT community. In 1986, she and her longtime partner Ann Hackler founded the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) in Goshen, Massachusettes. The non-profit institute's mission is to support women and girls in music and music-related businesses, with programs including a Rock 'n Roll Camp for Girls, and workshops on vocal and instrumental instruction, album production and recording techniques, lyric and music composition, and booking, promotion, and entertainment law.

“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
