Growing up in Montana I didn't have too much exposure to progressive causes. Even in Missoula, which is a very progressive town, I was introduced to feminist thinking through riot grrrl zines, not people. This zine really opened my eyes up. Not only did it expose me to a world of pissed off women with something to say, it humanized and empowered people with weight issues to the point that weight wasn't an issue to me anymore. Fanzines also introduced me to anarchism, and environmentalism, and a host of other radical and progressive issues and causes that no other source of media or life experience had done before.
