"In the early nineties, riot grrrl exploded onto the underground music scene, inspiring
girls and women to pick up instruments, create fanzines, and become politically engaged.
The movement's message of "Revolution girl-style now" soon filtered into the mainstream
as "girl power," popularized by the Spice Girls and transformed into merchandising
gold in the form of baby tees, lip glosses, and posable dolls." "So what was the legacy
of the nineties revolution in music? Though girl power has been criticized as frivolous
at best and soulless and hypersexualized at worst, Marisa Meltzer argues that it paved
the way for today's generation of confident girls who are playing instruments and
joining bands in record numbers." "Weaving personal anecdotes with interviews with
key players such as Tobi Vail from Bikini Kill and Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls, Meltzer
chronicles the legacy of artists including Bratmobile, Sleater-Kinney, Alanis Morissette,
Britney Spears, Pink, Avril Lavigne, and, yes, the Spice Girls. Girl Power charts
a path for the future of women in rock."--BOOK JACKET.
