Editing Zine (section)

== History ==
=== Overview and origins ===
Dissidents, under-represented, and marginalized groups have published their own opinions in leaflet and pamphlet form for as long as such technology has been available. The concept of zines can be traced to the [[Amateur Press Association|amateur press]] movement of the late 19th and early 20th century, which would in turn intersect with Black [[literary magazine]]s during the [[Harlem Renaissance]], and the [[subculture]] of [[science fiction fandom]] in the 1930s. The popular graphic-style associated with zines is influenced artistically and politically by the subcultures of [[Dada]], [[Fluxus]], [[Surrealism]], and [[Situationism]].<ref name=":3" />

Many{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} trace zines' lineage from as far back as [[Thomas Paine]]'s exceptionally popular 1776 pamphlet ''[[Common Sense (pamphlet)|Common Sense]]'', [[Benjamin Franklin]]'s literary magazine for psychiatric patients at a Pennsylvania hospital and ''[[The Dial]]'' (1840–44) by [[Margaret Fuller]] and [[Ralph Waldo Emerson]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=Girl Zines: Making Media, Doing Feminism|last=Piepmeier|first=Alison|publisher=NYU Press|year=2009|pages=215|via=Google Books}}</ref><ref name=":3" />

Zines were given a pop culture revival in March 2021 with the release of the [[Amy Poehler]]-directed film ''[[Moxie (film)|Moxie]]'', released by [[Netflix]], about a 16-year old high school student who starts a feminist zine to empower the young women at her school.<ref>{{Cite magazine|last1=Ehrlich|first1=Brenna|date=2021-03-08|title=How Amy Poehler's 'Moxie' Is Bringing Riot Grrrl -- and Bikini Kill -- to a New Generation|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/amy-poehlers-moxie-bikini-kill-1138030/|access-date=2021-11-15|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US}}</ref>
