Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution
Sara Marcus“Not only a historical rockument of the revolutionary 90s counterculture Riot Grrrl movement. . . but also a rousing inspiration for a new generation of empowered rebel girls to strap on guitars & stick it to The Man.” — Vanity Fair
“Feminism seems to change every five years. It’s hard to grasp the movement. . . . Girls to the Front is not just a keeper of the flame but brings you to yr own fire.” — Kim Gordon
“Stirring. . . . Eloquent. . . . Like Legs McNeil & Gillian McCain did in Please Kill Me. . . Sara Marcus’s Girls to the Front tells the story of riot grrrl, one person at a time.” — Bitch Magazine
“Ambitious & convincing. . . . Girls to the Front makes narrative sense out of events that had so far been recorded only in mythic, unverified, & fragmentary form.” — Johanna Fateman, Bookforum
Girls to the Front is the epic, definitive history of Riot Grrrl—the radical feminist uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America’s gender landscape forever. Author Sara Marcus, a music & politics writer, interweaves research, interviews, & her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner. Her passionate, sophisticated narrative brilliantly conveys the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy—as well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, & Kathleen Hanna’s Le Tigre—and their effect on today’s culture.
A dynamic chronicle not just a movement but an era, this is the story of a group of pissed—off girls with no patience for sexism & no intention of keeping quiet.
