The Life and Times of Butch Dykes, zine, 2009

Zines are self-published books and magazines with a limited circulation. Since the early 1990s, young women have been the most prominent zine creators, and the Library holds hundreds of examples of their work. The Life and Times of Butch Dykes, by Eloisa Aquino is, in her words, “about the lives and times of amazing women who could be considered icons against heteronormativity.”
