Back to the 90s: In conversation with Molly Tie author of Rebel Grrrls, the real story of women and punk
The untold story of how women shaped punk — and how punk shaped them.
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, seen through the eyes of its fans. This book goes beyond the musicians, spotlighting the women who def ied 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?
