She is using her voice beyond just a token conversation and using it in very meaningful ways to help others.<br /><br />Below is a link to the project:<br /><br />http://www.annielennoxsing.com/Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633194533296357627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302245627574027504.post-83072075372267794262010-10-21T18:40:27.569-07:002010-10-21T18:40:27.569-07:00I quite enjoyed the structure and content of this ...I quite enjoyed the structure and content of this post, contrasting widely disparate generations and cultures of feminists who are furthering female empowerment in very different ways. <br /><br />I wanted to just add a word about riot grrrl music. I have a surface familiarity with many of the iconic riot grrrl bands, though I am not very steeped in the genre. Still, I appreciate the radical musical politics with which riot grrrls approached their craft. <br /><br />Of particular significance, as I think Dusty seems to imply in his blog post, is the fact that riot grrrl was a <i>movement</i>. The significance of this stems from the observation that riot grrrl is aesthetically and politically rooted in punk rock - yet I am not aware of any prior feminist <i>movement</i> in punk rock before riot grrrl. <br /><br />Granted, female musicians have been involved with prominent and influential punk bands since its early days. (See, e.g., the Slits, X-Ray Spex, Crass.) Furthermore, these bands touched upon subject matters in the vein of later riot grrrls. (See, e.g., "Typical Girls" by the Slits; "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex; "Shaved Women" by Crass.)<br /><br />Although this early participation by women in punk rock is a wonderful historical point, the point here still stands that, as far as I know, riot grrrl was the first movement of significance in punk rock with indelible ties to feminism.gtg263rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994504490266541297noreply@blogger.com
