Hi, everyone! I want to thank the one-and-only Sari Botton for publishing my piece. I've placed a few articles in various places on the web, but this is the first time one of my personal essays has been published, and I'm honored to appear in a magazine with so many excellent writers. BTW I'll be sharing many more essays via my Substack, and right now it's free to sign up: https://aliciadara.substack.com/
Thanks everyone for your comments, and for reaching out to me via Twitter, Instagram and FB. I'm so glad this piece made such an impact, and I want to let you know that It's just a sampling of my larger memoir project. I'm only sharing it on my Substack, and right now it's free to sign up: https://aliciadara.substack.com/
“misogyny is a deafening roar that continues to drown out women’s voices in almost every industry.” Ain’t that the sad truth. But a little less with each generation of women.
I hope you're right, Jodi! Since SCOTUS scorched Roe I've lost some faith in our progress, but I'll rally for the midterms :) BTW I'll be sharing lots more personal essays via my Substack, and it's free to sign up: https://aliciadara.substack.com/
“Grunge may have passed into history, but misogyny is a deafening roar that continues to drown out women’s voices in almost every industry.” Brilliant history, brilliant memoir.
That's great to hear! Back then whenever a male musician wanted to play in band I asked them to list their musical influences, and the artists they most admired. My rule was that it had to be 50% female or I wouldn't give them an audition. Most of them didn't make it through, but a few did, and I still play music with some of them today!

Thanks, EJ! I so appreciate your kindness. Please feel free to share my essay, it would mean the world to a fledgling writer like me :)
I’ll be delighted to share it widely—it’s a marvel. Fierce & affecting. Brava!!
Thanks so much EJ! I appreciate it :) A brand-new essay is coming tomorrow morning via my own Substack, so hopefully you’ll enjoy that as well.
