The Story of Riot Grrrl - Part 1: Riot Grrrls

February 12, 2013

This BBC Radio 4 documentary tells the story of Riot Grrrl, the exuberant feminist punk rock movement dating from the early 90s.Angry about daily situations they were facing, such as sexual harrassment, abuse and the erosion of abortion rights, teenage girls decided to speak out and express their outrage through punk music. Away from traditional feminism, their radical activism participated in creating a whole subculture, generating collaboration around live performances and fanzines, showing everyone that girls could shout, fight and be as powerful as the boys, if not more.
