I'll start by saying I'm not like a Sleater-Kinney superfan by any means, but I love Carrie Brownstein from Portlandia and other stuff! This book is beautifully written and has some fantastic lines about anxiety and the patriarchy and the power of doing stuff and of being a fan of stuff. It's really great. She does go through S-K kind of album by album, and I did enjoy reading about the process even if I haven't listened to all of their albums (though I'm sure a bigger S-K fan would get more out of those parts of the book than I did).
I'm really too young to remember most of the Riot Grrl era but I still love reading about it.
IMPORTANT SPOILER: there is a chapter about how Carrie's dogs killed her cat and IT'S VERY UPSETTING
