Four early issues of British graphic designer Erica Smith’s feminist zine.

The publication ran for eight years, with an anthology published in 2000, and Smith organizing collaborative zine-making events up to 2016. Highlights of this collection include interviews with Carol Swain, Shonen Knife, and Stereolab; content on The Shaggs, Mina Loy, and Joan Aiken; and art by Freddie Bair, Lee Kennedy, Karren Ablaze!, Megan Kelso, Myfanwy "Miffy" Tristram.
