Books Lindsay's Pick  Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punkby Kathleen Hanna An electric, searing memoir by the original rebel girl and legendary front woman of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre.
“Hey girlfriend I got a proposition goes something like this: Dare ya to do what you want”
Kathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from?
In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumultuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk “girl band” in those years was not a simple or safe prospect. Male violence and antagonism threatened at every turn, and surviving as a singer who was a lightning rod for controversy took limitless amounts of determination. In an uncut voice all her own, Hanna reveals the hardest times along with the most joyful—and how they continue to fuel her revolutionary art and music. |
Zin's Pick North by Northwest starring Cary Grant A case of mistaken identity sends executive Roger Thornhill on a cross-country journey to find the real man in question while dodging relentless henchman.
