The F-WORD zine

a feminist handbook for the revolution

About Me



I'm a new feminist zine for teens/youthful people. You can check out the first online-only issue here (for free! free is good)
the F-WORD

We also have a killer print version now as well! You can click on the paypal button covers to the left if you'd like to order a single issue.
AND... how about that paypal account!
You can support our rabble-rousing ways by becoming a distro minion (ordering 10 copies of the F-WORD for $25... and you get stickers too!), taking out a subscription (donate $10 for a one year subscription (two issues), or $15 for a two year subscription (four issues)!) OR by purchasing the F-WORD benefit CD:

Feminist Bluegrass! It exists!
As an all volunteer organization, we greatly appreciate your support!

.. email Melody if you have any questions:
