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!
