Astrogrrl
Zine
(Australia) |
Miss
Helen has been zining for around 6 years now, and her zines seem
to be getting smaller and more personal. She does a whole collection,
best known for astrogrrl zine. Zines she has done:
bomb and chicken detective agency 02: "this was a
zine i made with my best friend clinton about our lives in the outer
burbs. i don't know if there will be another issue. it is 1/6th
A4 and cute."
secret agent chicken 99: "current: this is
the working title for the zines i've been making in the past few
years. personal writing etc in a very small package. i'm actually
planning on a super bumper isue that will be around the size of
a normal zine. contact me for details or if you have anything to
contribute."
hospital for broken hearts 99- current: "its
every bit as dramatic as its namesake. anxiety, love, death, breaking
points. cathartic tragic and voyeristic. intensely personal and
availible only to my closest pals.
spycore 3 97-98: "only one issue ever came
out of this monstrosity. it is a collection of writings by myself,
clinton, lou, john weeks and alex. we were some of the zine elite,
back in the day. its a cute little read. loosely themed around spying
and growing up.(out of print)
astrogrrrl
zine 96-00: "i did this zine from 1996-2000. just
before my brother died until i quit university. it was an angsty
autralian grrrl zine. it had interveiws with non riot grrrl bands
and contributed stories by some rad people. the zines were small
and relatively well known. i will still meet someone occasionally
who had read the zines back in the day :)
its over now, and thankfully, out of print."
Contact
details.
Some zines are availible by trading other zines, or mix tapes. A
nice letter is always good an almost expected.

Antisocial
Scarlet
(UK) |
"i
am a feminist. to me, feminism seems relevant in every way - whatever
certain people claim, women do not have equality to men. its not the
legal side of things that concerns me most, its the attitudes towards
women that both men *and* women hold."
Antisocial Scarlet - personal/feminist zine with loads of grrrl rants,
sex, poetry and more. (London)
"my zine is called antisocial scarlet. i decided to do it because
hopefully some people will be interested in what i have to say. its
basically an ickle A5 photocopied trip into my head and therefore
contains much sex-obsession, feminism and other bits & bobs. so
far i've done 5 issues, which has kept me busy & out of trouble
(kind of). :) if you want a copy (anyone? please?!) then email me

Activity
Girl Zine
(England) |
"We
all got together through meeting on the 'net, on The Void (channel
4 teletext music board) and through Riot Grrrl Lincs, which sadly
folded due to mysterious circumstances..but hey we came back! Bigger,
brighter and better than before! Activity Grrrl Zine is in its very
early stages yet, but eventually it's gonna be a proper paper as well
as an online zine, filled with a mish mash of punk/ska/ukhc/indie/
alternative etc/riot grrrl/feminism/columns/ reviews/shows/a tape
trading list and general all round cool stuff :) We're from all over,
Lincoln, Nottingham, and Sheffield to name a few places, which gives
us even more chance of creating this mega network of people sharing
music, meeting each other, starting bands and going to shows. 100%
DIY is where it's at!"

take refuge at your local park while looking for a swing to sit

(USA) |
:“I
don’t understand those people who let work consume their entire
lives with only very brief respites. Maybe I should commend them
as martyrs for sacrificing themselves for sacrificing themselves
for Work-something I should never do. But for me such a sacrifice
is not worth it.” Issue
#6 covers Sugene’s life. She covers themes such as walking,
which is her method of transportation and why she considers jury
duty as being “fun”. In terms of returning to graduate
school to satisfy others she states, “ Despite opportunity,
I’m waiting for a compelling reason.”

Alternative
Menstruation |
“I’ve
realized over the past few weeks that all of the resources I’ve
come across concerning radical menstruation (including the ones
I have written) seem to neglect two really important facts: 1. Not
all women menstruate and 2. Not just women menstruate.” The
Southern Ontario Bathroom Action (S.O.B.A) crew put out this resource
sheet in March of 2002. Alternative Menstruation informs those of
us who do menstruate on feminine hygiene health safe methods. It
provides various resources that emphasize the importance of our
health. It also gives way to a rarely mentioned topic, trans-inclusion
in menstruation.

“This
month, I spent some “ family time.” My family really
doesn’t understand my paradigm, o.k. The older I get, the
less things I can tell them. Spending too much family time leaves
me like a pot boiling over or something. I just can’t take
it. Better to have small doses, and keep things in perspective.”
Issue #3 covers Caitlin’s life in terms of sex and enjoyment
intertwined with the gain and loss of friendships. Adding to her
non-monogamous ventures in life is the lack of connection she has
with her family.

Artsy
(USA) |
“A
women’s magazine cannot deny its feminist responsibility.
We chose the name “artsy” as a way of turning a negative
into a positive. The use of this tongue-in-cheek word stems from
the misconception that women’s art is “artsy and crafty.”
Finally a magazine that truly represents women artist, because we
are not an extinct group that unexplainably recently surfaced.
