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.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“The years like great black oxen tread the world,
And God the herdsman treads them on behind,
And I am broken by their passing feet.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
