Today I had one of my first tutorials with Pete. I discussed the idea of tackling how fem-zines are empowering women but that I'm not sure how to go about it. It's a tricky subject to tackle and I feel as a question it still might be something a bit vague. I was discussing how Fourth Wave feminism is using zines differently to Third Wave feminists to get their point across, and we began discussing the notion of focusing my essay less on femininity and more on the relationship between zines, the internet and feminism.
I feel a lot better about this as a focused area of investigation! The utilisation of the web by contemporary fem-zine creators is something I've already began researching, and the effects the internet has had on female zine culture has been huge.
From this I believe my three main areas of focus are; Feminism, Zine Culture and Globalisation.
