An electric, searing memoir by the original rebel girl and legendary front-woman of Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. Published by Ecco\/Harper Collins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRebel Girl is perhaps the greatest feminist punk anthem of all time.\u201d \u2014 ROLLING STONE<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand now why other women in bands may have resented us,\u201d she writes. \u201cMany of them worked hard for the little press they got, and then we showed up saying \u2018NO THANKS\u2019 to the media and were still written about everywhere.\u201d She\u2019s impressively forgiving of many who transgressed against her (though not so much Courtney Love, a longtime antagonist who, in Hanna\u2019s telling, once \u201ccoldcocked\u201d her backstage at a music festival). She\u2019s also generous in her praise, etching lovely and loving miniature portraits of major figures, including Kathy Acker and Kurt Cobain, and some who should be better known: Tobi Vail, Tammy Rae Carland, Kat Bjelland.”<\/p>\n

~Flipping Off the Patriarchy, Three Chords at a Time<\/a>, New York Times review by Evelyn McDonnell<\/p>\n

\u201cHanna\u2019s book is raw, honest, poetic, insightful, and often funny. Her political evolution is particularly gratifying\u2026An impressively perspicacious memoir from one of feminism\u2019s most influential artists.\u201d \u2014 Kirkus Reviews<\/p>\n

\u201cA fantastic journey into an unconventional life, pulsing with raw energy and vulnerability that I witnessed firsthand. It\u2019s honest, funny, witty, and smart. And most of all, it’s important to the herstory of Kathleen\u2019s place in blazing new trails.\u201d \u2014 Joan Jett <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cUntil I started reading this book, the idea of Kathleen Hanna seemed more real to me than the person. But with every word, Kathleen exposes the fleshy humanness of being a cult icon on a mission. While Rebel Girl is as defiant as the song that inspired its title, there\u2019s a counterweight of humility and openness that adds new perspective to the songs and stories of Kathleen\u2019s life. This book is something special.\u201d \u2014 Hayley Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA no-holds-barred account\u2026Hanna\u2019s visceral prose captivates, and she\u2019s refreshingly candid about the riot grrrl movement\u2019s failures\u2026It\u2019s a raw and revealing portrait of a vital figure in the feminist punk scene.\u201d \u2014 Publishers Weekly<\/strong><\/p>\n
