<p><strong>"Not only a historical rockument of the revolutionary 90s counterculture Riot Grrrl movement. . . but also a rousing inspiration for a new generation of empowered rebel girls to strap on guitars and stick it to The Man." </strong>-- <strong><em>Vanity Fair</em></strong></p><p><em>Girls to the Front</em> is the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movement--the radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America's gender landscape forever. Author Sara Marcus, a music and politics writer for <em>Time Out New York</em>, Slate.com, <em>Pos</em>, and <em>Heeb</em> magazine, interweaves research, interviews, and her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner. Her passionate, sophisticated narrative brilliantly conveys the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Heavens to Betsy--as well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, and Kathleen Hanna's Le Tigre--and their effect on today's culture.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Sara Marcus<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 09/28/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780061806360<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 08/16/2010<br><i>Booklist</i> 09/01/2010 pg. 20
