• Sex, Hope & Rock'n'roll: Ellen Willis and Pop Critique

  April 29, 2011

  "Rock is, among other things, a potent means of expressing the active emotions--anger, aggression, lust, the joy of physical exertion--that feed all freedom movements, and it is no accident that women musicians have been denied access to this powerful musical language." So wrote Ellen Willis in June of 1974, when the acclaimed feminist thinker and cultural critic was working as the Rock, Etc. columnist at the New Yorker.

• Imran Malik: Punk Rock Medicine

  February 23, 2010

  Imran Malik was a third-year medical student in Pakistan in 2005 when the earthquake hit. He says he "didn't even think," just jumped in a cab and went to help. It didn't take him much more thought to decide to go to Haiti to help after last month's quake; he's just returned from his trip down there providing medical aid.

• Kathleen Hanna: Three-Dimensional Role Model

  February 17, 2010

  Kathleen Hanna came into a music scene in the 90s that was angry, violent, and full of men. She and her bandmates in Bikini Kill, along with the rest of the riot grrrl movement, pushed back against that culture and helped usher in a new "wave" of feminism.
