Zoe, a Columbia student, situates the riot grrrl movement within larger feminist movements and thought in the United States. She defines zines, characterizes riot grrrl zines, and writes about the history of consciousness-raising. Also included are a timeline of 1970s events related to anti-rape activism, information about Kathleen Hanna's activism against sexual abuse, and the lyrics to "White Boy" by Bikini Kill. The zine is accompanied by a website with additional writing, citations, and explanatory notes.
