“This flyer, a pre–Riot Grrrl ‘manifesto’ that was later re-purposed for the mini-zine Riot Grrrl, is the first image in the book. Kathleen told me she made it in 1989, when she was volunteering at Safeplace, Olympia’s long-lived domestic-violence shelter and advocacy organization. Designed so that it could be folded up into a small rectangle with the word trust on top, this flyer was both a secret invitation and a public announcement, much like Riot Grrrl itself.”
Archivist Lisa Darms reflects on her favorites from the Riot Grrrl Collection.
