Lesbengeschichte (website)

Location

Germany

German lesbian-feminist history site, including biographical sketches and a list of German-language films with lesbian actors in the cast or showing relationships between women.

"Every social group needs access to its own history. Knowledge of our past gives us a cultural roots and a heritage with models and experiences to learn from and emulate or choose not to follow. Lesbians have been deprived of virtually all knowledge of our past. This is deliberate since it keeps us invisible, isolated and powerless. [...] the suppression of lesbianism extends beyond the control of contemporary images and information to include control of historical knowledge [...]."2

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.
