In her searing and honest memoir, My Bruises and All, punk rock icon and activist Kathleen Hanna traces her journey from a troubled childhood to a life of music, activism, and personal growth.

Hanna's story begins in the early 1980s in Washington, D.C., where she was raised in a conservative household. As a teenager, she rebelled against her parents' expectations, embracing punk rock and DIY culture. In 1989, she co-founded the legendary riot grrrl band Bikini Kill, which became a voice for young women and a catalyst for the feminist punk movement.

Throughout her career, Hanna has been outspoken about her experiences as a woman in the punk scene, which was often hostile and misogynistic. She has also been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, mental health awareness, and social justice.

In My Bruises and All, Hanna writes about her struggles with anorexia, depression, and addiction. She also opens up about her experiences with sexual assault and domestic violence.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Hanna remains a powerful and inspiring figure. Her memoir is a testament to her resilience, her determination to fight for what she believes in, and her unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.
