4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Interesting look at a pivotal bandBy A.A.A well-researched and interesting look at the evolution of a tremendous band and their struggle to play music on their own terms. Sleater-Kinney were often miscategorized using reductive labels like "riotgrrl" or "women in rock" by media that didnt quite know what to make of them. This book shows how they fought. and ultimately succeeded. in being taken seriously as a rock band.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
