Description
Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is an intimate and revealing narrative of Carrie Brownstein's escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music was the means toward self-invention, community, and rescue.
With deft, lucid prose, Brownstein chronicles her experiences within the era's flourishing and fiercely independent music subculture, including the excitement and contradictions that defined this pivotal moment in rock history. Along the way, she shares stories of her time with Sleater-Kinney, a band that rose to prominence in the underground feminist punk-rock movement.
This book captures the experience of being a young woman, a born performer, and an outsider, and ultimately finding one's true calling through hard work, courage, and the intoxicating power of rock and roll. Accessibly raw, honest, and heartfelt, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is a compelling account of self-discovery and creative expression.
