Girl In A Band

Can't wait to read this!

I'm not much of an idolizer, but as mentioned elsewhere, Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth is totally my feminist hero. Talented. Complex. Both cool and hot—plus, she crafted this legacy as a rock-and-roll icon without ever really sexualizing herself.

"When you listen to old R&B records, the women on them sang in a fierce, kick-ass way. In general, though, women aren’t really allowed to be kick-ass. I refused to play the game," says she.

Truth: It's a man's world. Fierce and independent isn't the easiest way to walk through it as a woman. Kim, girl, I'm with you and I love you!
