A few weeks ago I read Girls To the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrl Revolution (recommended, fwiw!) and so when someone on Twitter linked this video of Kathleen Hanna (ex-Bikini Kill) talking about her experience of the 90s, I had to watch it:



She talks about getting drunk with Kurt Cobain in 1990, awkward experiences as a feminist stripper, and more. Some of the stories will be familiar if you've read "Girls To the Front" but her on-stage performance is worth hearing them again.

These days Kathleen's fronting Le Tigre, an electroclash/synthpunk band well worth checking out if you don't already know them:



(You've probably heard TKO around the place... it's one of their most accessible/poppy songs, but if you check out some of their other stuff, it's more political, with a distinct feminist/LGBT/left-wing slant.)
