<div>In 2005, the “We Got Issues” team, Rha Goddess and J-Love Calderon, traveled the country gathering rants from over 1,000 women, from Rikers Island to the Republican National Convention. They held community dialogues, rantfests, and Red Tent gatherings. This incendiary screed by young women warriors collects the best of those events. We Got Issues showcases a new feminine generation as they speak honestly and courageously about the 10 most important issues facing young women today, from money and racism, to relationships and motherhood. Each chapter frames a particular issue socially, culturally, and politically. A diverse range of rants, poems, and monologues explore the range of perspective within the issue, accompanied by a portrait of the writer or performer and an excerpt from their work. Powerful black-and-white images capture these “riot grrlz” — spiritual descendents of Eve Ensler, Alice Walker, Jane Fonda, and other old-schoolers — acting up, acting out, and demanding change. </div>
