I fully support this The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition and I am looking forward to seeing what people have to say about The Riot Grrrl Collection after they read it. I know I am not alone in welcoming critical, analytical responses to this document and the history that it represents. I will post a full review when I've finished reading the book but I already have a lot to say so I will start The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition the introduction. History that is being written and recorded is contestable terrain. I also had problems witnessing what I later learned is called the oppression Olympics see Elizabeth Martinez and some of the self-serving misuses of identity politics that I saw happening in the riot grrrl scene. There were also strategic differences — like wanting to play in bands and make zines but not wanting to go to C. This is all to say that YEAH - I The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition the hesitancy to call yourself a riot grrrl as something to respect and not something to gloss over. MAYBE I felt this way once a long, long, time ago - way back at the very beginning of riot grrrl…the year before it started…the summer it started, the month it started, the week it started, the day it started…that long hot summer evening in Malcolm X Park…in a secret grrrl gang solidarity letter to Jen Smith that spring? Before meetings were happening and it all was just this big utopian dream of revolution that some of us girls were using as a metaphor - or maybe a dare - as a way to imagine and talk about what a feminist network of action would The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition look like, as a way of getting to that next step, as a way to create a feminist future, as a way of asking for back up or to gather an army? That makes sense, as a lot of emotions you experience as a young person are hard to feel or even relate to later in life. Perhaps this is just something I blocked from my memory years ago? But then I noticed that the quote was credited to an issue of Girl Germs. I encourage those of us who were participants to comment on the historical record, to tell our version of what happened, to record our The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition and thoughts and find a way to The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition them. If you are reading "riot grrrl" zines for the first time I look forward to finding out how someone in The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition hear what we had to say about the world 20 or more years ago when we were much younger. Ok, that's it for now! Back to the book. I don't think Kathleen Hanna ended up writing the preface for the book even though she is listed here. Her writing is included in the book. I should add that Lisa did email me before the book came out to ask for my authorization to reprint my work and listed this quote in a long list of things she wanted my permission to reproduce. I just said yes to the whole email and didn't think about it too much until the book came out - so, in all fairness to Lisa, I want to say that I missed an opportunity to correct this mistake before it was published, which I now regret. View 1 comment. A life altering, grrrl inspiring collection of truth. This book is invaluable for anyone interested in the zines of Riot Grrrl. It's easy to forget that the movement was not just about music, but expression of The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition kinds, and especially literature. It was about opening up whole new ways of writing that differed from the typical, and writing about subjects that were pretty atypical at the time. Once you get past the spelling errors that are common throughout the zines, they are truly spectacular examples of total honesty in writing. An inspiring collec This book is invaluable for anyone interested in the zines of Riot Grrrl. An inspiring collection that I plan on perusing endlessly. Mar 04, Lord Beardsley rated it it was amazing The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition feminismread This is an incredible anthology of some top notch zines from the Riot Grrrl era. It was a pleasure and an inspiration The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition read them again -- some twenty-odd years since they were put out. Still as inspiring now as they were back in the day. The desperation and urgency, plus the sense of spont This is an incredible anthology of some top notch zines from the Riot Grrrl era. The desperation and urgency, plus the sense of spontenaity and acceptance of imperfections found within the pages was so refreshing to see. The points made by some of the people who made these zines are thought of as ground-breaking now -- back in the 90s they were utterly unheard of and very radical. With a movement so scoffed and vilified by mainstream media, I believe that one of Riot Grrrl's biggest victories is that many of the points advocated back then are now setting the dialogue for the much more globalized world that we live in nowadays in the 21st century. I was particularly happy to see zine offerings from people of color as well as men. The chronicle of the Riot Grrrl Convention in the summer of by Ramdasha Bikceem was fantastic and I appreciated her insight into the DC scene as an outsider, especially a hilarious year-old punk skater African American grrrl whose The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition sense of humor and observation was able to pin-point all the bullshit that inevitably came to play an important factor in that time and place. One of my absolute favorites was Johanna Fateman's scathingly brilliant fanzine dedicated to Antonin Artaud. Hilarious, well-written, and a perfect evocation of bullshit art world politics. I will go back to this one for many years to come. Oct 16, Petty Lisbon rated it liked it. This was an informative book. I never thought about the difficulty of archiving things I say as have a poorly assembled DIY movie ticket scrapbook so having an expert curate this collection made me appreciate that more. While it was just scanned The Riot Grrrl Collection 1st edition, she left out zines that were too personal which I thought was in good taste. Of course, some of the zines were just random collages or too hard to read but it does a good job at showing what a zine is and what kind of content goes inside and pe This was an informative book. Of course, some of the zines were just random collages or too hard to read but it does a good job at showing what a zine is and what kind of content goes inside and perhaps why social media isn't terrible.
