I really appreciated the inclusion of zines/flyers/manifestos/other writings by fat women, and women of color. Other books I've read about Riot Grrrl seem to center around white women so this more diverse look into this movement was very needed. A must read for anyone interested in punk rock, feminism, zine culture, and archive work!

This was so good. It's amazing to read original zines and content and feel so connected to a scene from nearly 30 years ago. I'm forever inspired by the DIY punk riot grrrls who paved the way.

Instead of reading a biography of the movement from a second hand viewpoint, The Riot Grrrl collection is a compilation of writings straight from the source. It is an excellent and honest insight into the minds of those involved in the rise (and fall) of the Riot Grrrl movement.

Damn, these girls didn't hold back.
The Riot Grrrl zines covered everything from sexuality, rape culture, sexism, feminism, fatphobia, racism, white feminism, you freaking name it. These zines are really powerful and feel applicable to 2020, even if they're from the mid-90s.
