Kathleen Hanna is a singer, musician, artist, feminist activist and writer. She is the lead singer of Bikini Kill and was the frontwoman for Le Tigre and The Julie Ruins. Hanna pioneered riot grrrl, an underground feminist movement that helped women express anger, rage and frustration, and talk about issues like rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, racism, patriarchy, classicism, anarchism and female empowerment.
'A fantastic journey into an unconventional life, pulsing with raw energy and vulnerability that I witnessed firsthand. It’s honest, funny, witty and smart. And most of all, it's important to the herstory of Kathleen’s place in blazing new trails' Joan Jett 'Until I started reading this book, the idea of Kathleen Hanna seemed more real to me than the person. But with every word, Kathleen exposes the fleshy humanness of being a cult icon on a mission. While Rebel Girl is as defiant as the song that inspired its title, there’s a counterweight of humility and openness that adds new perspective to the songs and stories of Kathleen’s life. This book is something special' Hayley Williams 'Hanna’s book is raw, honest, poetic, insightful and often funny. Her political evolution is particularly gratifying… An impressively perspicacious memoir from one of feminism’s most influential artists' Kirkus Reviews
