Riot Grrrl Culture And Its Relevance Today

Amanda Lee Koe has been making waves with her stylish debut novel Delayed Rays of A Star, which imaginatively tracks and expands on the Ives of screen legends Marlene Iietrch, Anna May Wong and Leni Riefenstah As anyone who has read her works would I kely attest, Koe's characters tend to stray outside orthodox societal constructs, a trait that the colourful author shares and isn't afraid to speak out on. Hardcore punk she is not, says the 31 year old New York based Singaporean, but she did go through a riot grrrl phase in her teens and is "aligned with the • importance of individual freedom and radical female agency".
