Kathleen Hanna

Riot Grrrl, lead singer of Le Tigre and former lead singer of Bikini Kill in between which she had a solo project as Julie Ruin.

She inspired the name of Nirvana's hit song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by writing "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on one of Kurt Cobain's walls. He thought it meant "the spirit of teens" and didn't know it was a deodorant. Courtney Love punched her and threw a bag of chips in her face backstage Lollapalooza which unintentionally became one of the most defining moment for the riot grrrl movement.
