"'''She Who Is Militant'''" is  a song by [[Weezer]].
"'''She Who Is Militant'''" is  a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and demoed by [[Weezer]] in [[2002]], in contention for the band's then-planned [[Make Believe|fifth album]].
===Appearances===
*''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' (2020)
==Overview==
==Overview==
"She Who Is Militant" is an [[Album 5 Demo]]. Though the song did not appear on an album, it shares its [[COR]] number with the ''[[Make Believe]]'' track "[[This Is Such a Pity]]", though the songs only bear a minor resemblance to each other in having a somewhat similar chord progression. The song also evolved into the track "[[All I Want to Do]]", which was also attempted for the album that became ''[[Make Believe]]''. It did not make the cut.
Initial home demos for "She Who Is Militant" were recorded by [[Rivers Cuomo]] to an Olympus handheld digital recorder<ref>''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', [[Alone II liner notes|liner notes]]</ref> in [[2002]]. Almost immediately after the completion (and prior to the release) of Weezer's fourth album, ''[[Maladroit]]'', the band began recording demos for their ''next'' album. "She Who Is Militant" is first known to have been demoed during [[Album 5 Demo|these recording sessions]] at Westlake Studios in West Hollywood, and it was attempted at various additional studios throughout the year (see [[#Known recordings|Known recordings]]). These studio demos were shared with fans by the band on [[weezer.com]].
