OH MY GOD.

I’ve been saying that someone needed to write a history of Riot Grrrl for a minute now (as the kids say these days). Good to see that someone has.

I’m going to own this as soon as it is humanly possible.

I’m going to have a brief “great stuff people are doing” day real quick. So: yeah! Sara Marcus is great: smart and awesome. There’s a copy of this book somewhere in my house, and while I haven’t gotten time to start reading yet, it’s getting really impressive reviews, and on my first browse through I was seriously wowed by the amount of work and research and care she put into it. Kinda staggeringly impressed. And it should be equally of interest whether you’re interested in the music part of things, the activism side of things, or just want to read a story about how something awesome and inspiring happening.

I think I said, a few months ago, that I remembered a time when it seemed like a lot of great writers were getting started with tackling this era, from a lot of different angles — if all the different results look as good as this one does, we’ll be in for a treat.

I’m adding this to my ‘to read’ list!
