About this title: In the last several years, more and more people, particularly women, have begun to produce their own magazines--xeroxing pictures, handwriting articles, or doing layout on computers at home. Freed from the constraints of investors and, in many cases, advertisers, these publications explore issues and opinions not often found in more mainstream outlets. This anthology includes articles, essays, interviews, artwork, and fiction by many of these innovative women. 125 illustrations.

"I borrowed this book from Laura Whitley because I didn't have anything to read and wasn't headed to the library.
I quite enjoyed reading these excerpts from girl zines. Many of them I had heard of but never read (I heart Amy Carter, Action Girl Newsletter) and others I had never even heard of (Wrecking Ball, Cupsize). Some, like Doris and Bamboo Girl I had even read.
As a girl/grrrl/woman/female zinemaker who writes about my "female experiences", I feel like this is part of my history, and I'm really glad those piece have been collected.
"This book is a great source for the history of not only zines but the riot grrl movement in general. It's put together well and Ann Magnuson is just really cool."
