Synopsis

In the last decade, there has been an explosion in the production of zines.

On the forefront of this cut-and-paste revolution have been those zines made specifically by and for young women. The words and images that have come to define many young women's lives have long been overlooked and under appreciated. A Girl's Guide to Taking Over the World exists because these voices have refused to be silenced.

Reviews

Zines are quirky publications with small but loyal audiences. Rowe, an assistant editor at Playboy, aptly characterizes them as "Tinkertoys for malcontents." Rowe gathers here what he considers to be "gems" from a wide variety of popular zines, including Basura, Ben Is Dead, TV Grind, Fat!So?, and Mystery Date. Sex, entertainment, food, drugs, and self-help are among the topics discussed. Sometimes these topics overlap, as in a Ben Is Dead article containing a recipe for edible panties. How-to articles range from a guide to becoming a cult guru to directions for bicycle stunts. A directory of zines with prices is included. Taormino and Green, the publisher and editor and the copublisher and art director, respectively, of Pucker Up magazine, also offer a sampler and directory, but theirs has a narrower focus?zines published by and for women. Sex, family relationships, celebrity watching, and rebellion are some of the subjects explored in articles with titles like "Learning To Fuck," "Jesus Kick," "The Day I Met Oprah," and "Girls with Guns." While the writing is often provocative, articles on incest, sexual abuse, and teen pregnancy aim to be supportive and healing. Interviews with zine publishers are also included. Given the ephemeral nature of the zines, the Internet might be a better medium for publications of this type. Rowe, in fact, includes a reference to the Book of Zines Web Page at http://www.zinebook.com. Recommended only for libraries with comprehensive collections in popular culture and women's studies.?William Gargan, Brooklyn Coll. Lib., CUNY
