Kathleen Hanna has donated a bunch a collection of her zines + assorted writings to the NYU's Fales Library, for their brand new Riot Grrrl Collection?
And we just heard on Soul Ponies that Kate Wadkins is gonna be moderating a Riot Grrrl panel during Sarah Lawrence's Women's History Month conference??
Two things are happening here:
1. New York as a whole just got a million times cooler
and
2. 2010 is clearly the year of the long awaited Riot Grrrl comeback!!
Super exciting for aging ladies like myself who were just a litttlleee bit too young to enjoy the scene to it's fullest during it's heyday. It's wonderful and perfect that the movement is getting the academic recognition it deserves, and being treated like an legitimate part of feminist history!
So jealous of New York right now! I need to get there ASAP, or you know, around March 5th & 6th for the Women's History Conference. Please donate Buddy Passes to Young Creature: stuck in Chicago, IL.
