Girls in Trouble on Feminism
Alicia from Girls in Trouble is currently featured on Undomestic Goddess discussing her relationship to feminism. You can read it HERE. Full text after the jump!
“Part of the reason I started writing “Girls in Trouble,” these songs about women in the Bible, is because their characters are so complex and awesome. Some characters are deeply loyal, and others don’t hesitate to betray those closest to them. Some are meek, and some are totally out there. They all experience these crazy things in their lives, just like we do. I love that the Bible is actually so bloody and messy when you really read the stories…it’s really great literature, and although the society in it is obviously patriarchal, the women are intense, complex, and often quite bad-ass. I wanted to bring their stories to life and make sure that people hear them - not in a religious way but as great stories that can inspire us to fulfill our kick-ass potential!”
