\"Riot<\/a><\/p>\n

A few years ago, I started a collection at NYU\u2019s Fales Library & Special Collections to document the feminist Riot Grrrl movement in its formative and most active years, from 1989 to 1997. Originally a reaction against the failures of punk to extend its DIY model of empowerment to women, Riot Grrrl encouraged young women to form their own bands, self-publish personal stories and revolutionary agendas in zines, and carve out safe spaces in a violent, misogynist culture. Riot Grrrl was not a centralized movement, and many of the donors to the collection never called themselves \u201criot grrrls.\u201d I never did, even though I went to the shows, read the zines, and identified as a punk and a feminist. Looking back, I see Riot Grrrl as descriptive of a moment as much as a movement: one that many young people now seem to want to study, learn from, and revivify. This summer, the Feminist Press published The Riot Grrrl Collection<\/a><\/em>, my book of almost 350 pages of selections from the collection. Below are a few of my favorites.<\/p>\n

\"Kathleen<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

This flyer, a pre\u2013Riot Grrrl \u201cmanifesto\u201d that was later repurposed for the minizine Riot Grrrl<\/em>, is the first image in the book. Kathleen told me she made it in 1989, when she was volunteering at Safeplace, Olympia\u2019s long-lived domestic-violence shelter and advocacy organization. Designed so that it could be folded up into a small rectangle with the word trust<\/em> on top, this flyer was both a secret invitation and a public announcement, much like Riot Grrrl itself. <\/p>\n

\"Jigsaw<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

One of the great gaps in the collection is the lack of issues of Tobi Vail\u2019s phenomenal zine Jigsaw<\/em>, from the prime Riot Grrrl years, 1991 to 1994. Thankfully, we do have this rare first issue. It still perplexes me that a zine that was so influential hasn\u2019t shown up in any of the collections that have been donated\u2014perhaps people are just unwilling to part with it.<\/p>\n

Issue one came out in 1989, the year Tobi turned twenty, well before the start of Riot Grrrl or her band Bikini Kill. As Tobi tells it, \u201cBy this time I\u2019d been going to shows, playing in bands and doing a radio show for five or six years but was lacking a feminist community. I was afraid to articulate this because I anticipated a backlash. This anticipation manifested itself in my body. At times I found it physically impossible to speak. Like many teenage girls, I felt powerless and out of control. Making a zine helped me overcome this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The collaborative minizine What Is Riot Grrrl, Anyway?<\/em>, part of Excuse 17 musician and artist Becca Albee\u2019s collection, was made in Olympia in the fall of 1992. Becca remembers that it was a time when meetings had transitioned from intimate get-togethers in apartments to larger gatherings, with many new members, at the Evergreen State College. Becca told me that \u201cthere were no constraints, no guidelines, and the idea was that each individual could respond to the question.\u201d Some chose to be anonymous, like the author of this page, who (like many riot grrrls) identified with a fifties girl-gang trope repurposed for feminist vigilantism: \u201cIn a girl gang I am the nite and i feel i can\u2019t be raped and i feel so fuckin\u2019 free.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"GUNK<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Ramdasha Bikceem started writing fanzines when she was fifteen years old and living in small-town New Jersey. At first, her zine GUNK<\/em> mostly focused on her girl skater gang and band, but eventually she started writing about race, feminism, and general youth angst. Ramdasha was an early critic of Riot Grrrl\u2019s lack of diversity; in GUNK<\/em> 4 she reported on the 1992 Riot Grrrl Conference in Washington, D.C., which both inspired and troubled her: \u201cThis sounds kinda snotty but I see Riot Grrrl growing very closed to a very chosen few i.e. white middle class punk girls. It\u2019s like some secret society, but then again there are some who feel that a secret society is what we need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Johanna Fateman got the lease for the Portland, Oregon, punk house called the Curse in the summer of 1992. Four to nine girls lived there at any given time, including Kathleen Hanna, who resided in the attic, and Radio Sloan, who took over the living room (you had to crawl through a tunnel to get to it). The kitchen featured a kiddie whale ride stolen from a Fred Meyer store. \u201cThere was quite a bit of petty crime,\u201d Johanna remembers, \u201cmainly outrageous pranks and strong messages of a political nature.\u201d Johanna also told me that, despite the fact that the Curse was sometimes referred to as a \u201cseparatist\u201d house, \u201cas an unruly group, ideologically and sexually, there were shifting and flexible ideas about regulating the presence of boys. The crucial thing to protect was the sense of feminist creative autonomy, as the house was a hotbed of artistic production\u2014particularly experimental writing, feminist vandalism, and band development\u2014and under no circumstances were boys to air their dreaded constructive criticism on the premises.\u201d Johanna remembers that, during the show this flyer advertises, Excuse 17\u2019s male drummer had to wait in the van when not onstage.<\/p>\n

\"Outpunk<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

In the first issue of Outpunk<\/em>, in 1992, Matt Wobensmith outlined his goals for his eponymous record label: \u201c(a) To provide images, role models, information, support, and strength to isolated queer kids who need it. (b) To give queer kids the tools to cope with and\/or change their environments. (c) To give queer kids options I never had!\u201d Queercore zines and bands inspired early riot grrrls, and in turn Riot Grrrl inspired young queer kids like Matt, which is why he decided to place his archive at Fales.<\/p>\n

Now the owner of the zine store Gotebl\u00fcd, in San Francisco, Matt is someone I\u2019ve had great conversations with about the private, intimate nature of zines. In a 1996 issue of Outpunk<\/em> anthologizing texts from other zinesters, he wrote, \u201cI think much of the beauty contained in the writing comes from someone who\u2019s unsure of the future, who\u2019s reaching out and saying something to an uncertain audience.\u201d In the process of asking for permission to reproduce zines and personal writings in The Riot Grrrl Collection<\/em>, I found that not everyone was willing to have their youthful, uncertain writings made so public.<\/p>\n

\"Slant<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Slant<\/em> started as an anarchist feminist zine that Mimi Thi Nguyen made with another woman. When they stopped collaborating, around 1993, Mimi decided to keep the name Slant<\/em>, which she told me \u201csignaled that the zine would focus on transnational and women of color feminisms, on analytics of race, gender, and sexuality.\u201d Slant<\/em> was a response to a public argument Mimi had, when she was nineteen, with a Maximumrocknroll<\/em> columnist who had joked about Asian women\u2019s \u201cstrange and inhuman genitals.\u201d This, in combination with a song he later wrote about wanting to rape her, inspired Mimi, in her Race Riot compilation zines, to \u201cdocument and dialogue with other punks and girls of color about our presence in these scenes, and about race and racism in our lives.\u201d Of the cover of Slant<\/em> 5, Mimi says, \u201cIt was clearly influenced by Los Bros Hernandez\u2019s Love and Rockets<\/em>, and also my time as a Bay Area clinic defense organizer during that period in the late eighties and early nineties, when anti-abortion activists would terrorize women and clinic workers with acts of small and devastating violence. My co-organizers were mostly veterans of radical queer activism of the 1980s and nineties\u2014Queer Nation, ACT UP, and the Lesbian Avengers\u2014so these groups\u2019 confrontational style totally informed how we shaped our work for reproductive justice, and this illustration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Chop<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Chop Suey Spex<\/em> was made in early 1997, at the very end of the period covered by The Riot Grrrl Collection<\/em>. Riot Grrrl was petering out, a victim of reductive media attention, the maturing of its founders, and the failures of its early intentions to create an inclusive and diverse underground. This zine, which recounts (multiple times, from each girl\u2019s perspective) an encounter between the young Asian authors of the zine and punk icon Exene Cervenka, documents the punk underground\u2019s racisms in microcosm. The excerpt above speaks for itself.<\/p>\n
