“ …in performance the band's approach was pure joy, like the B-52s remixing Hannah Arendt.“
– The Los Angeles Times
“Hanna is one of America’s greatest living rock performers.”
– The New Yorker
“In The Julie Ruin, Hanna is still the woman so many have admired, even idolized; but she's also fully herself, quirky and vulnerable, less a role model than a three-dimensional best friend.”
– NPR
“Kathleen Hanna has one of America's toughest punk voices – somewhere between a Johnny Rotten sneer and a Valley-girl shrug.”
– Rolling Stone
