Girls to the Front is the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movement — the radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America’s gender landscape forever. This was not just a movement but an era of pissed-off girls with no patience for sexism and no intention of keeping quiet.

Author Sara Marcus joins us to talk about her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner and chronicles the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Heavens to Betsy and their effect on today’s culture. Tune in.
