‘Zines are self-written, designed, and published non-commercial print-works. Along with punk music, they were the main tools of activism for Riot Grrrl, the fierce, outspoken, and unapologetically loud feminist movement born in the early ‘90s.
In this episode host Mary Mancini sits down with Christine Doza who published her first ‘zine, Upslut, in 1993 to distribute to her classmates and out a predatory male teacher. After hearing from Christine it won’t shock you to know that her essays have been taught in universities or that the Riot Grrrl-inspired Upslut, which she also sold at Lucy’s Record Shop and distributed around the world, is in the permanent collection of both the Seattle Public and Columbia University Libraries.
Christine found herself in unexpected places over the last thirty years as a student, a writer, a stripper, a teacher, and as a member of the electroclash girl group, Whatever it Takes (W.I.T.). But it was that first issue of Upslut that launched her as a feminist writer and thought-leader.
