The legendary frontwoman of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, Kathleen Hanna, tells her extraordinary story in this raw, fearless and deeply personal memoir. From a turbulent childhood to the early days of the punk scene, Hanna traces her journey through art, music and the revolutionary Riot Grrrl movement.
With honesty and unapologetic spirit, she explores what it meant to be a woman in punk — navigating sexism, male violence and the challenges of carving out space in a male-dominated subculture. Along the way, she reflects on the artists and relationships that shaped her life, her relationship with Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, her battle with Lyme disease, and the creative paths she pursued beyond Riot Grrrl.
Part personal history, part cultural reflection and part celebration of artistic rebellion, Hanna offers an intimate account of the highs, lows and contradictions of a life lived on her own terms.
A must-read for fans of Kathleen Hanna, feminist punk, underground culture and anyone who believes in the power of making art, challenging conventions and daring to do things differently
