RE/Search: Angry Women
1991
This cult issue of San Francisco-based publication RE/Search reads more like a college textbook than a journal; Angry Women features exclusive, long-form interviews with feminist theorist bell hooks, avant-garde writer Kathy Acker, pioneering performance artist Carolee Schneemann and 13 other iconic feminist figureheads. “Anger is an emotion which must be reclaimed and legitimized as Woman’s rightful, healthy expression—anger can be a source of power, strength and clarity as well as a creative force,” write editors Andrea Juno and V. Vale in the introduction. Full of punk black-and-white photographs and illustrations, Angry Women pushed the boundaries of what feminism could look like in the early 1990s—topics including menstruation, masturbation, vibrators, failed utopias, and the death of the Sixties are all discussed. "How can you have a revolutionary feminism that encompasses wild sex, humour, beauty and spirituality plus radical politics?"
