From the Underground to the Archive: Girl Zines, Feminist Networks, & the Politics of Memory
Dec. 10, National Humanities Center
In the early 1990s, a certain cohort of dissident, non-conforming girls turned to self-publishing to express their deep dissatisfaction with conservative reaffirmations of normative femininity. Calling themselves “Riot Grrrls” after several influential all-girl punk bands, they crafted handmade publications known as “zines” in order to voice their disaffection and to think through alternative ways of being in the world.
