The Riot Grrrl movement from Olympia has made a hell of a journey! Initiated in the early 90′s by bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, or Heavens To Betsy, it is now time for the story to be stored in a book. From its early times to Le Tigre and the Spice Girls, “Girl Power” is is an attempt to sell to younger generation the very idea of stoping being consumers of male-dominated culture and starting producing its own.
I guess the message from author Marisa Meltzer, a all-girl accapella group called The Skirts former-singer, comes through.
