Punk Feminism Against Patriarchy
This chapter explores the bold actions of the feminist punk group Pussy Riot as they challenge patriarchal norms and political figures in repressive Russia, particularly President Putin. It recounts their controversial protest in a church that ignited a national discussion on feminism, power, and freedom, while reflecting on the personal journey of the speaker from a timid Siberian child to a committed activist. The narrative highlights the intersection of religion and politics, the rise of a punk feminist movement, and the serious repercussions faced by those who dare to speak out against systemic injustices.
