258: Typical Grrrls

I’m feeling inspired and hopeful after attending the Women’s March in Washington D.C. on Saturday. To celebrate, but also to remind us that we need to remain vigilant, united, and a tad angry, here’s a new two-hour Typical Grrrls featuring one of the original feminists of punk rock, Joan Jett (pictured), plus a host of likewise bad-ass American women such as Frightwig, Scrawl, ESG, Blake Babies, Babes in Toyland, Sleater-Kinney, The Avengers, Throwing Muses, L7, Patti Smith, The Bags, Autoclave, Bikini Kill, Slant 6, The Fastbacks, Missing Persons, and much more (including one group from Vancouver — but who is counting?). Let’s not lose an ounce of momentum!
