Riot Grrl is a movement created by a third-wave of feminist musicians, writers and artists, emanating from the west coast, but eventually spreading all the way to the east coast. Unabashedly frank in their sexual expressiveness, the Riot Grrrl zine community fostered a new wave of feminist thinking: one that challenged the orthodoxies of the movement established in the sixties and seventies. Moreover, their espousal of an open sexual politics went beyond the pieties of the post-aids liberation writings of the mid and late eighties. Founded by Kathleen, Molly Neumann, and Tanmy Raye Carland, these fugitive productions are highly sought after today. It chronicles the next great wave in feminist practice, but unlike the first and second waves” literary roots, Riot Grrrl encompassed music and lyrical writing in ways hitherto unexplored by feminist writers.

1. Do It Yourself! #1 (Florida)
