Allison Wolfe is a trailblazer  in the riot grrrl and punk scene,  along with other women she met like  Kathleen Hanna in Washington.  She started out by putting out the cult-zine Girl Germs which eventually led to her fronting the legendary punk band Bratmobile.  She chats with us about  #bikinikill and touring with  Sleater Kinney.  The  women in this movement were inspirational and focused on using their voice to protest against male supremacy and sexism.Allison was raised by a strong feminist mother in Olympia, Washington who started Olympia's Eastside Women's Health Clinic in 1981, which was the first of its kind. She has a twin sister, Cindy ,  and completed her studies at Evergreen College and University of Oregon. She has written for publications such as The Washington Post  and was a primary force behind LadyFest, which have taken place throughout the world and she has appeared at many of them.She has also been a part of other bands like Sex Stains, Cold Cold Hearts, and Partyline. We are thrilled to chat with one of the original riot grrrls who helped influence an entire generation of women to use their voice to lift and empower others. www.AllisonCWolfe.comInstagram: @realbabydonut Please subscribe, like, comment, follow!https://www.facebook.com/metalpriestesseshttps://www.instagram.com/metalpriestessespodcasthttps://twitter.com/MetalPriestess2https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZ0nPy3dx4Sk0US9tzkT9A/vi
