Riot Grrrl World Newsletter (2003-2006)

Location

Belgium

FROM THE CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:

"In a discussion on the Riot Grrrl Europe mailing list about zine distros (in Europe), the idea to make a "Riot Grrrl World Newsletter" or a "Riot Grrrl Chapter zine" was brought up by Jenni (of Emancypunx) and Hilde (of Lady!Die/Riot Grrrl Europe). We continued brainstorming about the possibility of the project and how we would do it and because the reactions on the mailing list were positive, we decided to give it a go.

Fallopian Falafel

Location

Jerusalem
Israel

"Fallopian Falafel – אשת חיל is a non-profit, Jerusalem-based feminist zine established in May, 2007. It deals with feminism in Israel, in all its forms of expression (third-wave, riot grrrl, religious movements, etc.), and it aims to spread awareness about the ongoing need for feminism to the Israeli public. It is worth noting that despite its secular leftist nature, the zine is neither anti-religious nor anti-Zionist." (Text from http://fallopianfalafel.blogspot.com/)
