The Modern Feminist

About

We are a group attempting to create a physical feminist zine (on real paper!) using Tumblr as one of our sources. We would love your stories about how you became a feminist and why you think feminism is important. If you like you can also include a picture of yourself as long as you don't mind it appearing in our zine, just so we can show the diversity within feminism. We want to show the world that the common, negative perception of feminists is a myth, and that we come in all shapes, sizes and sexes. Anyone is welcome to contribute, whether you have a vagina or not! Additionally we should note that we have sex positive ideas and lean towards equality feminism.

--Edited: As of now the zine is on hold, but this tumblr will continue to collect stories until its resumed. In the mean time, this will be an active space where amateur feminist ramblings are spewed, and such.

update on the physical zine

Hey guys, this is Hannah (one of the two mods) and I just wanted to update all of the followers on the physical zine. There will be two versions but both will have the same writing content, just different design aspects. The reason is that I live in the US and the other mod lives in Europe. We have an amazing article in it that was contributed, and a few of the stories posted here in addition to other things. I just wanted to type this to get an idea of how many people would be interested in a physical copy when they are done, so let us know so we can get a good number count. Additionally, we are looking for ORIGINAL feminist art if you are an artist willing to contribute (note: you will not get paid for getting your piece in the zine, but we can give you a free copy of the zine!). So please fill this out and submit if interested.

Reminder: Only submit 100% original pieces, everything must be your own and must not be copyrighted. Also, all zines are printed in black and white, so be sure the piece translates.

-Please submit either a link to the piece you want to submit, or attach the actual photo.

-Please submit the name you would like to be credited by in our zine

-Submit an artists statement about the piece, such as what inspired you or something like that.

We will be sure to get back you on whether or not we are putting your piece in our zine. Just because one submits does not mean their piece will go in the zine (we only have limited space).
