I don’t know why it took me so long to get through this book. It’s not that I didn’t find it interesting or enjoyable. It was both. Sara Marcus takes on the heroic task of compiling together bits and pieces, memories and ephemera of the Riot Grrl Revolution, a teenage feminist movement that took place
