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 .

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."

Mad
Cow (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

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. Noemi

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. devonfking [AT] yahoo.com

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.
