For the past two decades; young women (and men) have found their way to feminism through Riot Grrrl. Against the backdrop of the culture wars and before the rise of the Internet or desktop publishing; the zine and music culture of the Riot Grrrl movement empowered young women across the country to speak out against sexism and oppression; creating a powerful new force of liberation and unity within and outside of the womens movement. While feminist bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile fought for their place in a male-dominated punk scene; their members and fans developed an extensive DIY network of activism and support. The Riot Grrrl Collection reproduces a sampling of the original zines; posters; and printed matter for the first time since their initial distribution in the 1980s and 90s; and includes an original essay by Johanna Fateman and an introduction by Lisa Darms.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. not ideal for designBy robert drawbaughthe other Dover Pictorial Archive came with discs; which made it easy to import into my computer for design projects.due to the outstanding price i can understand why a disc was not included; so i was ready to scan the images i liked; but the paper they used for the book is low quality; the printing inks bleed and the true lines were lost; the images are some what blotchy. The book are great if your ready to rebuild the images in vector; but the images as is will not match up with the crisp edges of the fonts you use while designing. over all im happy because they were priced so low and i always re-build Dover work in illustrator; but if your looking to cut and past scanned images into photoshop; the Dover are will look soft.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Women Everywhere!By NewspaperStrange book. Just a lot of photographs of women doing various things. Some are etchings; some are pencil; and some are paint. I enjoyed it. I think that someone studying art would find this very useful.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... this book as drawing reference but its so much fun just to look atBy RemyI purchased this book as drawing reference but its so much fun just to look at! Each page contains drawings of women in any pose and action you could ever want. Its all black and white; but its beautifully constructed and worth the money. I even ordered a second one for my friend. Great for old art appreciators and art students alike!
