The feminist icon and 1960s pop singer Lesley Gore died earlier this month from cancer complications. In her memory, the nationally syndicated radio show “Women’s Media Center Live With Robin Morgan” aired a previously unreleased 2005 interview featuring another feminist icon. Listen to Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill/Le Tigre/the Julie Ruin) interview Gore here (or download it as a podcast on iTunes here) around the 30:00 mark.

In the interview, which was published as a feature in Ms. Magazine, the two women discuss Gore’s 2005 album Ever Since, writing songs like “You Don’t Own Me”, the role of older women in the music industry, and much more.
