Kathleen Hanna Feminism Quotations

Feminism rotates between backlash and interest. And the cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history. Part of the problem before the Internet was that we didn't know which books to read. Someone had to tell you.

Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes.

What I've heard from younger women and women my age is that the albums changed their lives or it was the first time they had heard feminism that they could relate to. So that's great.

Younger feminists actually care about stuff that came before them, the same way that I totally cared about and loved and felt so lucky to have access to the feminism that came before me. To have younger people take what me and my friends have done, and to say 'We have access to that, but we're going to put that through our own Internet generation filter and we're going to make it into something that speaks to us and is a lot smarter.'

Gay marriage! That's a huge change and a huge win-win for feminism.

Feminism is something you do. It's a verb. It's what you are. It's an activity; it's something you're actively engaged in.
