The importance of these kind of events cannot be overstated. I sometimes think that there is a wealth of available 'fests' and organizations catering for the needs of grown up feminists but the upcoming young ones often get passed by. Occasions like Girls Rock are laying the foundations for real progressive potential by reaching out to the future of feminism and direct action, and giving intelligent young wimmin the tools to deal with the daily media assaults on their burgeoning identities. They should be supported wherever and whenever possible, independently run events can so easily drop off the radar.
