Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk

I'm not very familiar from Hanna's music from either Bikini Kill or Le Tigre (I believe I was listening to Barney and Elmo when BK was in their heyday) but I was still fascinated by her raw and honest memoir. “Each song felt held together with Scotch tape and was somehow minimal and complex at the same time.” That's Kathleen Hanna describing the music of another band, the Raincoats, but it is also an apt description of this book: short, choppy, episodic chapters that together build a portrait of a woman who experienced numerous traumas but used them to create groundbreaking feminist music and support other women with similar experiences. That's true Girrrl Power. The Spice Girls can kiss Hanna's ass.
