Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution - Sara Marcus. Read more... )

So... tl;dr: no book could really cover all of riot grrrl, & this history is a celebratory start, but the gaps, to me, were very indicative of the sorts of problems that riot grrrl had & that feminist movement still has.
