Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl

Carrie Brownstein’s raw and unflinching memoir takes us on a journey through her tumultuous youth and the birth of the iconic punk band Sleater-Kinney. With candid honesty, she explores her struggles with anxiety, family dynamics, and finding her place in the male-dominated music scene. Brownstein’s wit shines through as she recounts awkward encounters and triumphant moments, painting a vivid picture of the 90s riot grrrl movement. Her words resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, reminding us that sometimes, our hunger for belonging can lead us to unexpected places.
