Kathleen Hanna cytaty

Kathleen Hanna , piosenkarka, artystka, feministka, prekursorka feministycznego ruchu riot grrrl, autorka tekstów piosenek.



Wspólnie z dwoma piosenkarkami i gitarzystą założyła zespół muzyczny Bikini Kill . Teksty tego popularnego w latach 90. zespołu poruszały tematy związane z feminizmem, umniejszaniem roli kobiet w społeczeństwie, przemocą wobec kobiet i gwałtem. Zespół chciał zachęcić do udziału w swoich koncertach więcej kobiet, dodać im odwagi i pewności siebie. Piosenki śpiewane przez Kathleen Hanna były apelem do kobiet i mężczyzn. W trakcie koncertów Hanna prezentowała odważne stroje, taniec oraz gesty.

W wieku 15 lat zaszła w ciążę, którą podała zabiegowi aborcji. Zażywała narkotyki, nadużywała alkoholu i swoim zachowanie prowokowała w szkole, za co często była karana.

Hanna pracowała jako striptizerka, aby zarobić pieniądze na swoje utrzymanie oraz wydatki związane z zespołem.

Na podstawie barwnego życia Hanny powstał film, pt. The Punk Singer Punkówa w reżyserii Sini Anderson, gdzie Hanna zagrała samą siebie. Wikipedia

Kathleen Hanna: Cytaty po angielsku

“So many women have experienced horrific forms of male violence throughout their lives, and why isn't there a song about how you get depressed because of it? And you don't know what to do, and you don't know how to talk to your friends and how weird it is to be a feminist in that situation, where there's sort of the expectation that you're super-strong superwoman but you're just, like, eating pizza in your house avoiding talking about it.”

“My mom was a housewife, and wasn't somebody that people would think of as a feminist, and when Ms. magazine came out we were incredibly inspired by it. I used to cut pictures out of it and make posters that said "Girls can do anything", and stuff like that, and my mom was inspired to work at a basement of a church doing anti-domestic violence work. Then she took me to the Solidarity Day thing, and it was the first time I had ever been in a big crowd of women yelling, and it really made me want to do it forever.”

As quoted in Fierce, Funny Feminists http://www.feministezine.com/feminist/funny/Fierce-Funny-Feminists.html, The Feminist eZine.

“You don't necessarily have to have talent, you can just get up and do something and see where it takes you. I always tell girls who say they want to start a band but don't have any talent, well, neither do I. I mean, I can carry a tune, but anyone who picks up a bass can figure it out. You don't have to have magic unicorn powers.”

“People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer. I mean, it's not like Stevie Nicks or Linda Ronstadt were dogs. It's not like this is some new thing. But there was at one point a larger variety, but now the catchphrase is "the whole package," the "American Idol" reality that you're a model first and a singer second.”

As quoted in The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Music, Paul Du Noyer, ed. (2003).
On riot grrrl

“We wanted to start a magazine, and Allison Wolfe and Molly Neuman from the band Bratmobile had started a little fanzine called Riot Grrrl and we were writing little things for it. I'd always wanted to start a big magazine with really cool, smart writing in it, and I wanted to see if the other punk girls in D. C. that I was meeting were interested in that. So I called a meeting and found a space for it, and it just turned into this sort of consciousness-raising thing. I realized really quickly that a magazine wasn't the way to go. People wanted to be having shows, and teaching each other how to play music, and writing fanzines, so that started happening. It got some press attention, and girls in other places would be like "I wanna do that. I wanna start one of those."”
