Taking Control of Her Story

Kathleen Hanna's memoir, Rebel Girl, sheds light on her decision to omit certain traumatic experiences in favor of focusing on joyful memories. Initially facing a voluminous 600-page draft, Hanna collaborated with an editor to trim the content and strike a balance between narrating less stellar aspects of her life and rediscovering moments of joy. By incorporating both challenges and gratitudes, the process not only refined her book but also transformed her perspective towards gratitude.
