BOOKS

Sara Marcus The history and spirit of the Riot Grrrl movement has been hard for many writers to grasp — mainstream media wrote too simplistically about it while many in the scene were perhaps too close to offer critical distance. Marcus, a writer and musician living in Brooklyn, offers “Girls to the Front,” a deeply researched account — from the first raging shows put on in basements by Bikini Kill to the current manifestations of feminist values in the music community, including Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls and the ongoing Ladyfest concert series. At this reading, Marcus will be joined by musical guests Dunes and Anna Oxygen. Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave. (323) 660-1175. 7:30 p.m. https://www.skylightbooks.com
