"Kimo Getting Lucky" by Jessica Tanzer, 1989

★★★★★ - 5 stars

"Maybe that was what third wave girls were about: speaking back to power with sounds that didn't always make sense."

Kathleen Hanna: a feminist punk icon and the lead singer of three quintessential riot grrrl bands. Her memoir Rebel Girl, named in honour of the feminist anthem by Bikini Kill, is a true account of the riot grrrl era from one of the founding mothers of it. It's also a raw and brutally honest tale of trauma, loss and illness, detailing the ups and downs of feminism and considering the nature of the human condition. Kathleen tells her story in her own words - comedic and witty, as always, whilst still packing a punchy message.

Detailed and not holding back on even the most painful of specifics, Kathleen Hanna's first book is a powerful tale of female empowerment and the impact of the punk movement on women. Kathleen tells all: from her childhood to Bikini Kill to living life with her husband, Adam, and son Julius, and every part of her life story is just as interesting and important as the rest.

Alongside the book disclosing truths about Kathleen's life, it sheds light on the problems of the original riot grrrl concept. This includes a lack of intersectionality and a 'cisterhood' mindset (which excluded trans people from the movement). These issues are gracefully addressed and suggestions are made as to how we can remove these issues from the feminist movement today.
