2 For Girls, By Girls
What happens when girls make magazines? In this episode Sally Orson-Jones of cult girls’ magazine Shocking Pink (1979-1982) and Ione Gamble of zine-zeitgeist Polyester (2015-) discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of creating magazines as young women. How does content created by girls reveal and interrogate the biases of mainstream media? What is the role of girls’ magazines in generating a sense of feminist community? And why is there a photograph of a vulva in the second issue of Shocking Pink?
