The term riot grrl originated in the early 90's when quite a few girl punk bands started rebelling against the sexism that they experienced as women in the rock-n-roll industry. These ladies began speaking out (or rather, singing out) against sexism, eating disorders (which many women face), corruption in a patriarchial society, and all in all established themselves as feminists in the music industry. They became activists through their music.

This community is for people who share the riot grrrl ideals and would like to talk about feminism, activism, punk rock, awesome girl bands and women rights. This is a place where those who identify as riot grrrls, and even those who don't but are still interested in riot grrrls, to come and talk to like minded ladies and gentlemen.
