Rebel Grrrls: The Real Story of Women and Punk from the 1970s to Today (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781913172985)

The unfiltered story of women
in the punk scene-- celebrating the highs, confronting the lows, and proving the
power of community. From the gritty streets of 1970s
London to the sun-soaked beaches of 2000s California, Rebel Grrrls: The Real
Story of Women and Punk is a raw and exhilarating exploration of
rebellion and identity through the eyes of its fans. This book goes beyond the
musicians, spotlighting the women who defied small-town limitations, challenged
family expectations, and shaped the scene from the inside out.Molly Tie examines what the
movement has meant to millions of fans, setting their experiences within a
wider cultural and political landscape. What is it like to be a woman at a gig?
Which bands and songs truly reflect the female experience in a male-dominated
space? And how does our connection to alternative music change when powerful
figures face allegations of abuse?

Spanning every era--from the
British explosion and American hardcore to riot grrrl, pop punk, emo, ska, and
today's activist revival--Tie reveals how women in punk have fought to be heard - proving that, at its best, punk is about refusing to stay
silent.
