Kathleen Hanna

From Philosopedia

Hanna, Kathleen (12 November 1968 - )

A recording artist who was a member of the 1990s punk band Bikini Kill and now has embarked on a solo career, Hanna and Bikini Kill are closely tied to the Riot Grrrl feminist movement.

According to an interview in The San Francisco Bay Guardian (9 Sep 1998), her latest album at that time includes her view, “I don’t believe in God, but I believe God invented four-tracks.”

Hanna was born in Portland, Oregon, but her family moved to Calverton, Maryland, and other places because of her father's changing occupations. While she was in high school, her parents divorced.

Hanna attended the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and has been influenced by feminism and Gloria Steinem.
