The zines were supposed to be historical... The thing that I sometimes don’t like about blogs or that doesn’t suit me for that kind of work is that it can seem really ahistorical. Quote Bitch Magazine about the interview: Hanna's interest in archiving her own personal history, as well as contributing to the history of riot grrrl, allows others to see firsthand the accessibility of the movement's zines and community-building efforts. In a way, this humanizes the riot grrrl movement by making the actions of people like Kathleen Hanna seem achievable and less shrouded by mystery and idolization (which seems like the most riot grrrl thing Hanna could do). Additionally, Hanna brings up the importance of carving out a space for zines at institutions like NYU, so that forms of communication and self-publication alternative to the internet can be given deserved recognition.
