Oden unravels the illusion that the ’90s riot-grrrl movement was a be-all-end-all moment for women in punk without discrediting its definitive, unmatched impact. She provides an essential voice on not just femme-punk’s lineage but rock history in general with unprecedented research and an uncompromising argument.
From my review of Amy Oden’s documentary, From the Back of the Room, in this week’s Boston Phoenix. The documentary is screening at the Coolidge Corner theater for a week starting this Friday.
