Hello all,

"Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution"/ Credit: Wordpress

My name is Julie Greene, and this is my blog.

My blog's theme is feminist theory in riot grrrl culture. Throughout this blog, I will trace feminist ideology discussed in class to the lyrics of riot grrrl bands.

Riot grrrl was a DIY feminist punk-rock movement that originated in the mid-'90s in the Pacific Northwest. Riot grrrl bands often centered their lyrics on issues such as patriarchy, female empowerment, sexuality and racism. Bands include Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsey and Sleater-Kinney.
