For more than three decades, straight edge has ebbed and flowed through the hardcore scene. The articles in this section span twenty years’ worth of ideas, feelings, and thoughts about straight edge from a female perspective.

As we have grown and evolved, so have our ideas about what it means to be straight edge. These are our stories, our thoughts, our journeys.
