Description

From OPB and the NPR Network, Starting a Riot tells the story of a movement called riot grrrl. It wasn't just music – it was politics, feminism, culture and zines. We’ll hear from people on the margins, people who felt left out, and the people who insisted on being part of the conversation anyway.

Thirty years ago, a movement called riot grrrl started in the Pacific Northwest. It wasn't just music – it was politics, feminism, culture and zines. And we're still feeling its effects today. Starting a Riot tells the history of riot grrrl: why it started in the Pacific Northwest, and what its lasting impact has been. And we focus on the stories that haven’t often been told as part of the history of the movement. We’ll hear from people on the margins, people who felt left out, and the people who insisted on being part of the conversation anyway.
