Editor's Notes

  • #2 I saw your study focus is Women and Gender Studies/Sexuality. I have a lot of female students who are out in class as bi and talk about what that's like. I wonder if you have anything in your library that would interest them... 9th grade
  • #3 Choose five zines of different genres Personal Political DIY Compilation Art or minicomic?
