Full Description
1991—Val, a teenager from a conservative family,
has grown up dreaming of becoming a ballerina, but recently something has
changed. She's begun feeling pressure to conform to a specific idea of
beauty, body type, and a personality that just doesn't
fit.
Val meets Kat, a smart, witty girl that
doesn't take any crap off anyone. Kat introduces Val to punk rock. Along
with Rudie, another new friend, the three form an all-girl punk band they
ironically name The Proper Ladies.
Soon Val
and her friends find themselves caught up in a movement with other girls also
starting bands—also finding their voice. Collectively, these "riot
grrrls" discover that their songs ring out loud and powerful, and for Val,
there's no going back.
