[edit] Music
Wilcox attended Evergreen State College where she studied film. During this time she and friends Kathleen Hanna and Tobi Vail collaborated on a feminist zine titled Bikini Kill. The three women then enlisted guitarist Billy Karren and began a feminist punk band also called Bikini Kill. Wilcox provided vocals, bass, and drums for the band, which lasted throughout the '90s and is considered one of the definitive bands of the riot grrrl movement. Wilcox later performed with the bands The Feebles, The Frumpies, Star Sign Scorpio, and Make-Up. More recently she has collaborated with Christina Billotte and Steve Dore in the Casual Dots.
