Issue 2 - For the Love of Zines
December 2010
In this issue I discuss my love of zines. Why they’re important to me, why I create them, how they helped me find feminism, learn to cope with my anxiety better, and how they've even saved my life. It also contains a Dear Diary section covering a variety of topics as well as a few zine reviews to finish things off. Quarter Size - 30 pages
Issue 1 - Fetus Schmetus
April 2010
A zine documenting my personal experience having a medical/chemical abortion at Planned Parenthood. I feel that this is a topic that isn't talked about enough, so I wanted to share my personal experience and hopefully debunk some myths and make the whole process a bit less mysterious for others.
