Vivien Goldman skillfully navigates the diversity of she-punk, exploring struggles of women as musicians through individual band members' stories and experiences.
She-punk is defined by challenges of identity, money, love, and protest, with female musicians expressing their marginalized existence through music, creating a distinct identity.
She-punk songs mirror real-life experiences with acoustics reflecting abuse, beats mimicking beatings, and lyrics echoing intense emotions like fear and lust, such as in 'The Boiler' by Rhoda Dakar.
Male-dominated bands like The Clash and The Sex Pistols couldn't authentically capture the raw emotions and experiences of she-punk songs, as their perspectives and realities differed from those of female musicians.
