Description: In the spring 2014 issue of "MADDDGRRRL," Kelly Murphy, Zoraida Palencia, Kaylan George, Britney Harsh, Amber Chandler, Jillian Haney, Fikriyyah George, Allison Berger, Madelyn Owens, Kyle LaMar, and Kelly Gallagher are here to "rally around the 'angry feminist' trope" with their passion, anger, and powerful art accented in reddish pink. Striking illustrations, poetry, photography, and collages value the female body and comment on the male gaze. One spread shared five shocking comments made by students of a high school sex-ed teacher that reveal the lack of proper sex-ed and critical conversations on feminism. The zine includes the first comic issue of "The Vagilantes: The Beginning," a comic about Madelyn angered by gender stereotypes, the male gaze, and rape culture, and commiting to do something about it with her sister. The zine is interactive for readers as it invites them to write their own haiku and answer the "Why you mad?" prompt on a loose sticker just as zine contributors do. -Mikako

"MADDD GRRRL is here to be your megaphone. We rally around the 'angry feminist' trope because sometimes that's the only kind of feminist we can be. We are fighting against the dominant voice of the patriarchy. We're spamming their newsfeed. We're throwing elbows. We are taking of their board rooms, and we're taping over their sexist advertisements. We are taking the torch from the suffragettes, the freedom fighters, the speakers, the writers and the riot grrrls who came before us, and we are going to finish the job. These pages hold the passion, talent, and rage of women (and, ok, one boy) who have something to say and deserve to be heard. Read it, enjoy it, share it, and join us."--Web site.
