Description: This issue of Martens's anarchist mamazine discusses resisting the girl-destroying culture of America. Most of the issue is dedicated to looking at the ways in which body image, peer pressure, and teasing affect young girls, using her daughter as an example. She notes the pervasiveness of fatphobia and dieting in elementary school girls as well as issues of class.  There are also essays on breastfeeding, pay equity, and lice, and a childbirth narrative, recipes for herbal remedies, photos, and an alternative Cinderella to color in.
