After discovering the movie, The Punk singer (Kathleen Hanna and Bikini Kill), I have been facinated with this whole Riot Grrrl movement. While I realize, during this time, I was older, and just married, so I hardly remember hearing much about it.
This book was an interesting read, at least the first three quarters of it-
I found myself confused on who was who, because the author talked about people like you should know these people if you are reading the book. Never an introduction, just name dropping.
And it goes into extensive talk about the Zines, which to me was rather dry, being of my older years here, knowing life a little bit more than the younger generation.
Letting my teen read it, with the knowledge that there are things in this book I don't approve of (sexuality, drug use, and drinking) and she finds it facinating-
I didn't like the ending, it didn't really seem to wrap up, but maybe that's how the whole Riot Grrrl movement ended.
A great book, in my opinion to get mothers and daughters talking about things that make a difference in today's society.
