In the 1990s, girls around the world created underground publications known as "zines." First as fans responding to the music of girl bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile and Huggy Bear, they later participated in a dynamic social movement known as Riot Grrl. When Riot Grrl zines were taken up by mainstream magazines like Sassy , a younger cohort of girls took up the form. Now, these underground zines appear in library stacks, art works, classrooms, academic articles and books. Why and how did this happen?
