Also dominated by the 'kinderwhore' look originally vomitted by Kat Bjelland and Courtney Love when they were still in 'Sugar Babylon' (also with Jennifer Finch of later L7) All three then started their own bands which are probably the most famous grrrl band after Bikini Kill (Hole, Babes in Toyland and L7).

"If you treat a girl like a dog, she is going to piss on you"
A quote from Courtney Love, original Riot Grrrl.
Fuck you, Courtney haters.
Grow up and get over the Kurt thing.

Riot grrrl - slang
A grassroots third wave feminist movement deeply connected to the punk rock scene in the early and mid 1990’s. Mostly youth oriented, riot grrrl was neither an organization or a specific thought, but instead thrived on non hierarchal “chapters” set up across America and parts of Europe connecting mostly young women with music, a thriving zine scene , and direct political action.
there is no one specific example of riot grrrl, in fact the best example is contrasting different people who associated themselves with the movement.
