| Abstract: |
Frances Duncan grew up in the New York area. While in high school, she was an avid
fan of the Riot Grrrl music scene, especially the band Sleater-Kinney, and performed
in her own band, Tryke. In the late 1990s, she received her undergraduate degree in
writing from Sarah Lawrence College while designing websites for Riot Grrrl bands
from the Pacific Northwest in her spare time. This collection features items created
and collected by Duncan in her teens and early twenties documenting her involvement
in the Riot Grrrl movement. Materials include diaries, day planners, notebooks, zines,
photographs, art originals, and cassette tapes, as well as artifacts and memorabilia.
The collection also includes a metal lunchbox covered in stickers and containing handcuffs
and a nightgown. Bands prominently featured in the collection include Sleater-Kinney,
Nilla, Marmalade, Versus and Vitapup.
