I transcribed these articles from Bikini Kill #1 and #2. I have tried to maintain the original formatting of the articles, with minor spelling corrections here and there. Any blanks you see are due to the text being illegible from years of photocopying.
The zine Bikini Kill was a collaboration among Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox – I own nothing.


If you have any zine articles you'd like to contribute, email me at linoleumroses AT yahoo DOT com.
