Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution - Sara Marcus

Girls to the Front is the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movement—the radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America’s gender landscape forever. Author Sara Marcus, a music and politics writer for Time Out New York, Slate.com, Pos, and Heeb magazine, interweaves research, interviews, and her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner. Her passionate, sophisticated narrative brilliantly conveys the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy—as well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, and Kathleen Hanna’s Le Tigre—and their effect on today’s culture.

Anyone read this?  I really liked Riot Grrrl: Revolution Girl Style Now!.

Then you will LOVE this book because it’s even better than Riot Grrrl: Revolution Girl Style Now! It’s the closest thing to the definitive guide to riot grrrl in my opinion.

The end made me sad :(

But it’s an incredible book.

I know what you mean. The last 3 chapters made me so depressed. I could feel the sadness of the loss of the movement for the people who started the revolution, emanating.

i love how big the third wave is getting.
I really need to buy/steal this book.
