Girls to the Front
Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution | Sara Marcus
21 posts | 18 read | 35 to read
For a Second Wave feminist like myself, Girls to the Front evokes wonderfully the way the generation after mine soaked up the promise and the punishment of feminist consciousness....A richly moving story. Village Voice writer Vivian Gornick Girls to the Front is the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movementthe radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering Americas 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 Betsyas well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, and Kathleen Hannas Le Tigreand their effect on todays culture.

Books, snacks, music, and break time. It's the only thing that gets me through a tedious and repetitive job. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine starts in about 9 hours. I'm going to get my riot grrrl on. 🤘🏻👩🏻🎸🎧💋

readordierachel Loved this book. Enjoy! 7y

Not my favorite snack of all time, but definitely my favorite snack at the moment. Lately, it's been saltines all day every day. Also, it's been a slow reading month for me, but even though I'm not devouring it, this book is awesome.

Do you ever get sticker anxiety? When a sticker is just the best and you can't find a spot good enough for it? Yeah. Me too. Better just keep reading this history of the riot grrrl movement until I figure it out.

Ubergeekygirl I know exactly what you mean, I must have half a dozen laying around because I get anxiety everytime I think of sticking it some place & then that the car, the case, the whatever might not outlast my love of the sticker. Grr.. The struggle is real. 8y
Ubergeekygirl Btw, that sticker is amazing 8y
TheApesOfWrath @Ubergeekygirl vichcraft.com! I have it as a pin too. 8y

Happy birthday to me! It's finally mine! I've been wanting this for forever. Also, there's a great bookstore in Chicago that sells amazing books, beer, & wine. This is part of how I spent my 25th birthday with bae.

courtney @Liberty if you come to Chicago for BEA, definitely check out Volumes. It's one of the best new bookstores I've been to! 8y

I've always thought the riot grrrl movement was really interesting! (Don't read the book on the right, it's terrible and poorly edited.)
