It focuses on a cluster of feminist publications-including BUST, Bitch, HUES, Venus Zine, and Rockrgrl-that began as zines in the 1990s. By tracking their successes and failures, this book provides insight into the politics of feminism's recent past. Making Feminist Media brings together interviews with magazine editors, research from zine archives, and analysis of the advertising, articles, editorials, and letters to the editor found in third-wave feminist magazines. It situates these publications within the long history of feminist publishing in the United States and Canada and argues that third-wave feminist magazines share important continuities and breaks with their historical forerunners. These publishing lineages challenge the still-dominant-and hotly contested- wave metaphor categorization of feminist culture. The stories, struggles, and strategies of these magazines not only represent contemporary feminism, they create and shape feminist cultures. The publications provide a feminist counter-public sphere in which the competing interests of editors, writers, readers, and advertisers can interact. Making Feminist Media argues that reading feminist magazines is far more than the consumption of information or entertainment: it is a profoundly intimate and political activity that shapes how readers understand themselves and each other as feminist thinkers.Film + media studies.FeminismPeriodicalsFeminismPeriodicalsHistory20th centuryFeminismHistory20th centuryZinesHistory20th centuryFeminismFeminismHistoryFeminismHistoryZinesHistory305.405Groeneveld Elizabeth1550150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798871603321Making feminist media3808765UNINA
