Girls to the Front by Sara Marcus
The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution | Paperback |
At the beginning of the 1990s, the Senate didn’t believe Anita Hill, Rush Limbaugh compared feminists to Nazis, and a study found that girls tended to start hating themselves during adolescence. It was a hard time to be a young woman, to be growing up on promises of equal rights that didn't square with reality. Sexual assault rates reached record highs; harassment was rife in the schools; boys still would be boys, and girls still had to watch what they wore and where they walked. It was enough to make a girl want to scream.
Riot Grrrl roared into the spotlight in 1991: an uncompromising movement of pissed-off girls who had no patience for sexism, no stomach for double standards, and no intention of keeping quiet.
