Info:
Polish riot grrrl zine: "chaoXgrrlz is a xgrrrlx zine for boys and girls, promoting femminist issues in hc/punk as well as good music, personal/politics and positive initiatives." 5 issues (?) have been published the 4th issue was published in English, all the other in Polish. The zine is made by Asia Bordowa (with external contributors) who also runs/ran together with three others the Revenge of the Nerds distro, and under the pseudonym Bordeauxxxx runs the xcute'n'pastex blog
it's hard to figure out when this zine was founded and if it still exists

Info:
Swedish femzine founded 1998; in 2000 bleck became more magazine-like, but the last number was published in summer 2003 (still existing?); emphasis on popular culture, literature, sexuality/porn, feminist/queer theory, violence etc.

Statement:
bleck startades 1998. De åtta första numren kopierades och häftades. Dessa nummer är sedan länge slut - du kan inte beställa dem. Sedan nr 1/1999 trycks tidskriften. Nya nummer ges ut med ojämna mellanrum. bleck samarbetar inte med något förlag. Inte ens med Ordfront som det ibland påstås.

Info:
