Resumen
Gender-based violence is a key concern for the Chicana punk musician. Alice Bag’s memoir, Violence Girl: East L.A. Rage to Hollywood Stage. A Chicana Punk Story (2011), addresses this issue by describing her father’s violent nature and how he beat her mother in front of the young Alicia, who was powerless to prevent it. Even though her father was never aggressive with her, as she explains in her writing, the violence that she witnessed at home became an important part of her growing up, and she channeled it through the ethos of punk. This chapter discusses how, by writing her memoir, Bag explores gender-based domestic violence; it reflects on the effect that this violence had on her life as a woman and artist, and on the development of her identity as Chicana, punk musician, and feminist.
