Description
The Zines and Minicomics Collection combines materials from two former collections known as the West Coast Zines Collection and the Comics Collection. The collection ranges from 1985 to the present and includes zines and minicomics on a variety of topics. Concentrations
include identity politics (especially riot grrrl, people of color and LGBTQ topics), sexuality and reproductive rights, punk
rock, anarchism, activism, alternative lifestyles, creative writing, and popular culture. Notable feminist titles in the collection
that began as zines and went on to become major "glossies" include BUST, Bitch, Venus, and Hip Mama.
