Info:
AUF - Eine Frauenzeitschrift was founded in 1974 by the Austrian feminist activist group AUF - Aktion Unabhängiger Frauen and is said to have been the first feminist magazine in the German speaking countries. Until 2011 four issues were published every year, each based around a specific topic. Emphasis on: women's rights, equality, power, violence against women, culture / literature / arts, feminist theory, sexuality, activism/resistance, economy, lesbianism, etc. With issue #153 (6/2011) the magazine ceased publication

Statement:

"This zine is adapted from my Masters research thesis, entitled '"I'm not waiting'. Doing it yrself, now: Challenging constructions of feminist activism and aesthetics in women's punk music communities". (Thesis now held at the Centre for Women's Studies, University of York, England).

I wished to engage the activist community in which I am part, with the academic community in which my research was part of, and bring the two together in discussion of contemporary feminist activism.

This collective zine, which began as 'assess your weapons', a slogan from stella marrs (www.stellamars.com), is the offspring of the Leeds diy feminist group Manifesta.

Some RAYWs have special sections on different topics:
# 3: Confidence
# 4: Burn Out
# 5: Harrassment
# 7: Community, Collectivity and Communication
# 8: Independence
# 9: Recovery
#10: Boundaries

"GirlFrenzy zine has been published since 1991 and has always been a popular and unique forum for the work of comic strip artists, women musicians, riot-grrrls and anti-censorship feminists. Ideal reading matter for Grown-up Girls and The Odd Boy".

KnockBack Magazine, or KB to our friends, is our A5 antidote to the guff that passes for women’s media. After enduring an issue of Cosmopolitan on a particularly slow day in the office, Marie Berry and friends decided to provide an alternative, a literary nod to the girls we know and love whose lives are not governed by shopping, dieting and celebrity culture. Because we are women who make sense, who work, play and write hard. Because the women you read about in other magazines are not like us, we are not represented, so we choose to represent ourselves, and you, if you are one of us.
