Date: 1992

Location: Washington D.C.


Authors and Editors of Riot Grrrl, Number 7

Many zines were compiled from letters, photos, flyers, and other media sent by riot grrrls through the mail. Riot Grrrl, Number 7 was created this way too; there is no single author or editor, but instead many contributors. Most of these contributors remained anonymous or only used their first names as identifiers. However, there are a few full names in the zine: May Summer Farnsworth, Heather Leach, and Stacey E. Lee are among them. [4]

There is not a lot of information on any of the contributors, except for May Summer Farnsworth. Farnsworth started Riot Grrrl Press with Erika Reinstein in 1992. It was established in Washington, D.C., where they printed and distributed various zines, including Riot Grrrl, Number 7. [5] She is now a professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where she teaches Spanish, Latin American, and Bilingual Studies. She has written and contributed to several books and journals, including “We ARE the Revolution: Riot Grrrl Press,” and Feminist Rehearsals: Gender at the Theatre in Early Twentieth Century Argentina and Mexico.
