Maxine : a literate companion for churlish girls and rakish women by Martha Bayne and Zoe Zolbrod
The editors of this "loose forum for essays, fiction, autobiography, comix, poetry, erotica, art, crazed intellectual inquiry and all that inevitably falls in the grey areas in between" seek to create a political, feminist publication that goes beyond trendy feminist buzzwords. Issue 1 focuses on "the pleasures and pains, politics and personalities of woman on woman relationships." There is an article by a researcher at Playboy magazine, a book review of Vamps and Tramps by Camille Paglia, thoughts on a romantic platonic relationship, a chat about butch and femme identities, an interview with the Chicago-based experimental performance group Doorika, and magazine reviews.
