Describe your zine American Women is created to address the contemporary issues from the female perspective. I chose to focus on America because we tend to have so many myths about how free we are and how much progress we've made. Even in America the strugglefor women's liberation is far from over. |
| Do you only publish online or do print as well?
Why? I currently publish my zine online because it has allowed
me to spend my time on the creative aspect and also to share my work with
people around the world. It's also a matter of economics. I am currently looking for sponsors and grants. |
| Why do you do what you do? I'm trying to raise awareness for the social and political problems polluting our culture. |
