feminist punk

Feminist punk is a musical and cultural movement that combines punk's raw, energetic style with feminist ideas advocating for gender equality and women's rights. It emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s as a way for women to challenge societal norms, express dissent, and promote empowerment through music and activism. Feminist punk often addresses issues like sexism, patriarchy, and social injustice, using lyrics, performance, and community to inspire change. It emphasizes DIY ethics, self-expression, and solidarity, making it both a genre and a movement rooted in resistance and social consciousness.
