- Summary
- "A baby changes everything but your self. Thought she may no longer write fanzines or engage in political performance art, Evelyn McDonnell's revolutionary spirit is strengthened by having added investment in the future - her toddler son and teenaged stepdaughters." "As she makes the transformation from Riot Grrrl to Rebel Mom, this music journalist gives an eyewitness account of the cultural movements of the '90s, from alternative rock and third-wave feminism to hip-hop, raves, poetry, and Rent. Through this pop-culture lens she confronts the conventions and pressures of modern motherhood. Part of an emerging generation of cultural commentators and memoirists, McDonnell adds an original, humorous, and edgy voice to the ongoing literature of motherhood."--Jacket.
