Creator
Jenny Robin E.
Description (required)
A five-page, handwritten letter from Jenny Robin E., a reader and fan of the feminist, riotgrrl era zine Cupsize to its main editors Tara and Sasha. Throughout this letter, “Jen” (as she self identifies) talks about how “rad” she thinks Tara and Sasha are and details how they are some of the only “nice” women she’s met in the riotgrrrl scene. She details her feelings of insecurity within the feminist scene and how she doesn’t fit into the traditional “cool” image that movement espoused. She praises the work Tara and Sasha have done with Cupsize and ends the letter with a “personal” ad she would like to be included in their next issue. She includes her contact details at the end in the hopes that Tara and Sasha will reach out to her.
