The Girl Zines Collection consists of self-published small magazines (known as "zines") created primarily by young women and girls, who share a strong feminist perspective. Topics include "third wave" feminism, lesbian relationships and erotica, and fat liberation. The collection is comprised primarily of individual issues, mostly dating from the 1990s, some of which were used in the book, A Girl's Guide to Taking Over the World, edited by Karen Green & Tristan Taormino (NY: St. Martin's, 1997).
