It focuses on a cluster of feminist publications—including \u003ci\u003e BUST\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003eBitch\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003eHUES\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003eVenus Zine\u003c\/i\u003e , and \u003ci\u003eRockrgrl\u003c\/i\u003e —that began as zines in the 1990s. By tracking their successes and failures, this book provides insight into the politics of feminism’s recent past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaking Feminist Media\u003c\/i\u003e brings together interviews with magazine editors, research from zine archives, and analysis of the advertising, articles, editorials, and letters to the editor found in third-wave feminist magazines. It situates these publications within the long history of feminist publishing in the United States and Canada and argues that third-wave feminist magazines share important continuities and breaks with their historical forerunners. These publishing lineages challenge the still-dominant—and hotly contested— wave metaphor categorization of feminist culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories, struggles, and strategies of these magazines not only represent contemporary feminism, they create and shape feminist cultures. The publications provide a feminist counter-public sphere in which the competing interests of editors, writers, readers, and advertisers can interact. \u003ci\u003eMaking Feminist Media\u003c\/i\u003e argues that reading feminist magazines is far more than the consumption of information or entertainment: it is a profoundly intimate and political activity that shapes how readers understand themselves and each other as feminist thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042614067440,"sku":"9781771121200","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781771121200_p0.jpg?v=1769889916","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781771121200","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
