The cult classic Angry Women (1991), from San Francisco-based RE/Search, feels more like a college textbook than a magazine. It features in-depth interviews with feminist icons like bell hooks, Kathy Acker, Carolee Schneemann, and 13 others. In the introduction, editors Andrea Juno and V. Vale write that anger is a natural and powerful emotion for women, and should be embraced as a force for strength, creativity, and clarity. Packed with raw black-and-white photos and illustrations, Angry Women challenged the limits of feminism in the early ’90s, tackling bold topics like menstruation, masturbation, vibrators, failed utopias, and the fading dreams of the 1960s. The blurb asks: “How can you have a revolutionary feminism that includes wild sex, humour, beauty, spirituality, and radical politics?”
