Ms. Direction
(OR/US)
"Ms. Direction's marriage issue is a mixed bag. There are a number of thoughtful essays by several contributors, all considering marriage from a feminist perspective. Especially interesting is one by Colette, expressing some scepticism about gay marriage. But since none of the contributors have actually been married, their views remain strictly theoretical... After all, the divide between academic theory and the real lives of women is currently one of feminism' biggest challenges." Quoted and available to order from Echo Zine Distro .

The Media Whore Feminist Literature Review
(MA/US)
"It's odd to be writing a review of reviews, especially for a zine that doesn't normally emphasize its review section. However, this zine is worth reading in its own right, even if you don't plan to go out and buy the books they're talking about. There's a nice little piece on feminist science fiction writers (though I thought Octavia Butler deserved more than a passing nod), and a good plug for Juicy Mother. But for my money, the zine's high point is Johanna Eeva's fascinating discussion of the book, Fresh Lipstick, by Linda Scott Palgrave. This is a great piece of writing and it alone is worth the zine's two buck price." Quoted and available to order from Echo Zine Distro .

march for women's lives zine
(US)

The March for Women's Lives was the largest march of its kind in American history! So, why did the media downplay, misrepresent, or downright ignore it?

This zine is 38 (half) pages and includes march stories and photographs from over twenty contributors. It also comes with a CD-ROM that contains dozens of additional photos, a video, and a computer copy of the zine (so you can make and distribute your own copies). We really want to get the word out about this amazing experience, to commemorate the march for those who were there and to give the REAL story to those who were not. Get a copy of the March for Women’s Lives Zine and CD-ROM, only $3 postage paid. Then make and distribute copies everywhere. SPREAD THE WORD!! For info email marchzine [AT] yahoo.com

Moving Images: One girl’s incredibly strange search for celluloid and coaxial comrades
(IL/US)

"Growing up in the 80s, I longed for media role models that weren’t the brat pack. I found them instead in movies like Rock ‘n’ Roll High School and Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains. But where would a fifteen-year old me find solace and comrades in today’s media? This essay is a rumination on the movies I used to watch late at night in the dark as a teen and how I related to them as an outsider. I also write about what’s available to the fringe and outsider teens of today on the movie and television screens. A bit difficult to describe, but surely worth a read.

Mother Rebel
(US)

"It is hard to describe my zine, but I guess it is mostly about parenting just because I personally have four children. I have a steady contributor who along with an essay does a comic trip called Radical Sluts. Which is about a group of women who are tired of the system so they seduce world leaders to get them to perform good deeds. I have a segment called "A Day in the Life of a Mother Rebel". A mother (usually me because no one else has contributed to that particular segment) journals her day. I have a "Mother Rebel Rants" where I bitch about whatever has pissed me off most in the three months that it took me to put together the zine. Once it was about people calling the police on mothers who leave their kids alone in their cars. Hello, if you are that worried hang out and keep an eye on the kid. Another time it was about assuming that single mothers are slacker mothers simply because they are unmarried. I also print essays and reviews, artwork and the like."

(Canada)

“So if you like something or want to be someone that other people tell you is wrong because your sex and your should line up or if people tell you that you are wrong for wanting to accessorize your gender with a matching body, this Mad Cow is for you.” Various articles in the Blue Issue. I’ll briefly mention some articles by title, These Boots Were Made For Stomping, Austin Powers and The Drag King Effect, My Right Eyebrow, You Might Be A Boy If…, The Kevin Spacey Diary, I Had A Gender Once.., and many others. Price: Issue#1-6=$2.00 each

Making of a Chicana
(TX/US)
“This was originally put together for a group of students traveling to Texas and border Mexico to experience the “Real”, um, Mexico/Spanish experience in early 2001. So I have added selections, here and there. I hope to offend only in a good way.” In this Issue you see the impact this course has had on students who attended a six-week course. The zine is composed of excerpts, poetry and free thoughts.

The Making of a Femme
(US)
“As Always, this is intended to only speak of my own experiences. I do not mean to marginalize anyone. All stories are valid…this is simply my own and nothing more. If anything I say hurts you or makes you feel invalidated, by all means let me know. If anything else, it should spark interesting conversation.” Devon’s zine attempt #2 is a portable 46-page zine that I enjoyed. She covers all that one can write about while at work regarding her appearance, and the way society claims to rectify her by categorizing her in the appropiate gender slot. She obviously rebels and is able to live her life as she wishes.

Masturbation
(CA/US)
“I wanted to do this zine because I have always masturbated. It has always been a constant aspect in my life. I’ve gone through extreme periods of trying to stop doing all together because it is “WRONG.” I am a very sexually open person. I think sex is a wonderful natural thing.” Masturbation is about, “ a collection of writings from people all over the place who have a little something to say about touching our selves.”

Mohawk Beaver
(Denmark)
"A zine dedicated to the clits of tomorrow." When I discovered this zine first in Vienna (hmmm, it was 1996 I guess, in the Depot), it was one of my first encounters with a grrrl power zine. And I was intrigued by Gritt's "Mohawk Beaver"! I went home with all issues they had and read and read... In every issue (more than 10 by now) she interviews empowered women (like first feminist generation Kirsten Christensen or the band Rock Bitch), publishes poems and stories (e.g. on domestic violence among girlfriends or on sexual harrassment in our daily lives), comics, drawings - all of which deal with how women create and live their lives - and their sexuality -in today's (still partriarchal and homophobic) society.

(link not found, January 2003)
A personal site from a 16 year grrrl from Canada who says about herself: "i'm a feminist. it sucks that i even have to say that. it should go without saying that all females are feminists, but for some reason, there are still women and girls who deny being feminists. HOLY SHIT!!!"
