The women's movement has already written enough analyses about how women are educated to endure violence, but to not protect themselves.'" Quoted and available to order from Diffusons Distro

It's cute, and it sounds useful. The story Sentience was good, too. It's of love and getting separated from it, even thought love wasn't given back, it still hurts.

"This is a teriffic first issue (but not first zine) for Breaunna. Her style of writing is poetic and flows nicely. She writes about moving, wanderlust, childhood friends, examining her personality, and the death of her father and how she felt/reacted. Here is an excerpt: 'I've determined that my favorite time to fall asleep is eight thirty on some random Thursday, the television tuned to cartoons, all snuggled up in between my lion king blanket and earth-tone comforter and full from Chinese food and no-more-worries. Then when I wake up on Friday morning at four AM even though I don't have to be at work for hours, I cuddle up with zines and an old journal and some chocolate milk and wait for the sun to rise.'

"Escaping Suburbia #1begins with a piece called "How it all began" in which Jen describes how she came to be as she is now.
´My own personal revolution was when I changed. When my attitude and perception broke through the conformist barrier I was raised in, and I became freee...I did it on my own. Through exploration, reading, thinking, and realization. I started to wonder if there was more to life that tv and consumerism, more than the mainstream`...
From which she goes on to explain how she found punk music and alternative lifestyles (that differed from the consumeristic pop iconic mecca from where she came).
Then the zine goes onto a travel diary of sorts as Jen writes about her camping trip, travelling with her family, and more. A very solid read from a riotous pirate grrrl zinester." (Quoted in Basement Freak's Distro). Issue #1available to order from Basement Freak's Distro

| Evolutionary
Girls Club
(worldwide) | "The
Evolutionary Girls Club is an INCLUSIVE group of artists and activists with a
focus of passing on voice, access and opportunity between its members and to the
communities we live in and visit. We have many genders within our membership.
You need not identify as female to belong. Women have been contained within the
ranks of man and his/story for years. The name began as a play on the idea of
the “old boys club”. The group recognizes privilege, both visible
(such as race and gender) and invisible (such as sexual/gender
orientation,
class) and works hard to give inequities voice so that the entities and individuals
that reinforce fear and ignorance are not allowed to maintain power through our
silence. Even privilege given around visible
traits tends to go unacknowledged.
We publish a catalog with images, articles and creative writing about once a year.
The group has done shows in Ukraine, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Croatia,
Serbia, the USA.......We attempt to do shows that help groups with social activism,
shows that brings art into public spaces as well as shows in more traditional
gallery settings. Many of us are involved in direct activism and
we sometimes
form groups to attend protests, forward petitions, etc. We work together to inform
and expand each other." Founder and Co-Director: Erica Eaton, spiraltri [AT] hotmail.com.

Billie
is a survivor of incest, ritual abuse, government mind control and medical experiments.
This zine (2000) by Billie Rain who also runs the planting
seeds community awareness project talks about child abuse: "I promised myselfs that if we lived through those years of being someone else's
marionette, we would tell the story for every single child that died in front
of our eyes, while the puppeteers laughed. We were trapped then, we had no choice
but to live in their world, inside their twisted minds. Now I have a choice."
