The Riot Grrrl Collection
Lisa Arms (editor), Johanna Fatman, Kathleen HannaWhile feminist bands like Bikini Kill & Bratmobile fought for their place in a male-dominated punk scene, their members & fans developed an extensive DIY network of activism & support. The Riot Grrrl Collection reproduces a sampling of the original zines, posters, & printed matter for the first time since their initial distribution in the 1980s & '90s, & includes an original essay by Johanna Fateman & an introduction by Lisa Darms.
Lisa Darms is senior archivist at the Fales Library & Special Collections at New York University, where she has created the Fales Riot Grrrl Collection.
Johanna Fateman is a writer, musician, record producer, & member of the post-punk band Le Tigre. She, along with Kathleen Hanna & several other key Riot Grrrls, recently donated her zines & early writings to the Fales.
