About the Creator
Patricia Rodriguez (also known as Treesha) is an 18 year old college student who lives in Huntington which is located on Long Island, New York. She started the zine in her senior year of high school as a way of taking part in the feminist movement and in lives of the women in her community. Although she knows that this zine is a very small step in reviving the feminist movement, she feels that the smallest event can make the biggest different in anyone's life.
