Grrrl, You'll Be a Lady Soon

Article by Rachel Fudge, appeared in issue Music; published in 2001; filed under Social commentary; tagged grrl, grrrl, lady, reclaiming, riot grrrl, second wave.

Last fall, at a reading for Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future, a 50-ish audience member questioned the thirtysomething authors’ ever-so-casual usage of the word “ladies.” To this woman (who turned out to be tireless second-­wave activist Laura X, creator of the Women’s History Research Center), the blithe use of “ladies” ran counter to everything she and her generation of feminists had fought for—and against.

But to the authors, Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, and their peers, the lady words can spill forth with ironic glee.
