Girl Groups

I watched that programme on BBC 4 last night about girl groups and it got me thinking about how they rarely continue for a long period of time. What's the longest an all-girl band has stuck together (from their first release) without losing a member or splitting up?

The Donnas

It seems The Donnas have had the same line-up since their first release in 1995 which would mean they're together 16/17 years. Doesn't appear that anyone's left/been replaced in that time.

- They changed their drummer in 2010, says Wiki
  
  which is still fifteen years. Remember when they got a proper commercial push?
