(--Kathleen Hanna, Bikini Kill)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore the rise of the Internet or desktop publishing, the zine and music culture of the Riot Grrrl movement empowered young women across the country to speak out against sexism and oppression, creating a powerful new force of liberation and unity within and outside of the women's movement.While feminist bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile fought for their place in a male-dominated punk scene, their members and fans developed an extensive DIY network of activism and support. \u003ci\u003eThe Riot Grrrl Collection\u003c\/i\u003e reproduces a sampling of the original zines, posters, and printed matter for the first time since their initial distribution in the 1980s and '90s, and includes an original essay by Johanna Fateman and an introduction by Lisa Darms.\"The materials in this book are more important than ever. Riot grrrl shows us that feminism isn't synonymous with consumer empowerment. Passed person to person, riot grrrl culture advances a true revolution in which 'girl' qualities like candor and empathy are no longer trivialized and can re-make the world.\"\u003cb\u003e ―Chris Kraus, author of \u003ci\u003eI Love Dick\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Darms\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Archivist at the Fales Library \u0026amp; Special Collections at New York University, and is founder of the Fales Riot Grrrl Collection.
