Description: In this quarter-sized, handwritten zine, Kate writes about feminism, particularly regarding the divisions between girls and how the patriarchy perpetuates a toxic and competitive nature amongst girls. At the end of the zine, Kate calls on all girls to ignore the impulse to isolate themselves from one another, and asks her readers to write her to share their own ideas on the topic. The zine includes quotations and is illustrated with women's symbols.
