Riot Grrrl: The Feminist Punk Movement That Changed Music

The Riot Grrrl movement wasn’t just about music—it was a call to arms. Emerging in the early 1990s, this grassroots feminist punk movement gave voice to young women who were fed up with the male-dominated rock scene. With DIY ethics, fierce energy, and a refusal to be silenced, Riot Grrrl bands redefined what it meant to be a woman in music, inspiring generations of female musicians to pick up electric guitars and make themselves heard.
