Comment:

Sad but true: rock 'n' roll has always been something of a boys' club. How wrong is that? Wrong enough that, in the early '90s, a group of women latched onto punk's D.I.Y. ethic, strapped on guitars, and kicked some serious butt. A slew of 'zines, including [i]Girl Germs[/i], [i]Satan Wears A Bra[/i], and [i]Quit Whining[/i], laid out the riot grrrl manifesto in four simple words: "Revolution Girl Style Now!" Political, aggressive, sexual, confident, and [i]empowered[/i], these bands turned to Angela Davis and Gertrude Stein for inspiration as much as they did Joan Jett and Kim Gordon. From scene founders Bikini Kill and Bratmobile to unsung — but definitely [i]singing[/i] — heroines like Sue P. Fox and Lois, we've got all the uncut, unfiltered female ferociousness that two ears (and a thousand garages) can hold.
