They are receiving huge publicity and playing bigger venues now than ever before, bringing their revolutionary music to new generations. * FRESH AND AUDACIOUS VOICE: The writing is fierce and alive in this memoir, and though this is Hanna's first book, it is clear that she is a born storyteller. She's beautifully woven together stories from her childhood, her efforts as a feminist activist, her evolution as a musician, her scrappy first years on the road, and her later musical success.

The energy is palpable throughout. * OG VOICE OF FEMINIST PUNK: While so much of the punk scene of the 80s and 90s is viewed as masculine and symbolized by male-centric bands, Hanna's memoir proves that true punk is feminist and intersectional. * PROVEN MARKET: Readers have shown their passion for the revolutionary 90s counterculture Riot Grrrl movement, coming in droves to books such as Carrie Brownstein's HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL (9k TCM), Kim Gordon's GIRL IN A BAND (25k TCM), and Sara Marcus's GIRLS TO THE FRONT.
