<quote>Kathleen Hanna, the former frontwoman of Bikini Kill and now
the singer in Le Tigre, highlights the influence of the riot grrrl
movement in small women's magazines such as Venus, Bust and Bitch, in
the rock camps for teenagers that are taking off across the US, and in
modern bands who reference the sounds of female post-punk groups such
as Delta 5 and The Mo-dettes. "Even though they don't sing every song
about politics, paying homage to these bands means they see themselves
in relation to women that have gone before them, which is a deeply
political message of its own." </quote>
