Product details

London, the mid-seventies. Pop culture is being reinvented, and in the revolutionary primordial soup of punk, everything seems possible. But does that also apply to women? Are there roles beyond groupie, fairy, or rock chick? Is there perhaps for the first time a chance to break away from all the typical girl clichés instead of becoming one? Viv Albertine became a Riot Girl long before the term existed. With the legendary Flowers of Romance, she created her unique guitar sound alongside Sid Vicious and Keith Levene. Then, with the Slits, the first autonomous female punk band, she opened the doors through which later artists like Madonna and Lady Gaga could forge their own paths. How the punk scene emerged, how it was experienced from a female perspective and reinvented through a feminist lens, and what setbacks were encountered along the way—this has never been portrayed so vividly and accessibly.
