There is cool, there is super cool, and then there is Kathleen Hanna.
We had a full house for Kathleen's talk and the audience was simultaneously inspired and blown away! Being able to bring her to campus (finally!) was a real plum for BCC. Thousands of thanks to you (and Kathleen, of course) for making this happen for us. It was so lovely to meet her and you were right on - We loved her!
… smart, funny, and breathlessly honest . . . musician of considerable talent whose first band, Bikini Kill, became the standard bearer of the Riot Grrrl movement in the early '90s.
Kathleen Hanna is a one-woman tornado . . . an army of one.
