Examples

“The Riot Grrl scene emerged in the early '90s, but had faded as a driving force⟳ in popular culture by the end⟳ of the decade. Looking back, most associate the Riot Grrl movement mainly with music, and although the music entered the popular culture, it's fair to say⟳ that much of the feminist message has been lost.”

“Riot grrrls also wanted self-definition through the written word and promoted a female-centered version of punk's DIY politics.”
