Women in rock 2016–2020

Editor-in-chief Izzi Krombholz wrote in Women in rock’s first issue that it was not just a magazine, but also a lifestyle. Women in rock sustained a celebratory and thankful tone through its ten colorful, saddle-stitched issues released from 2012 to 2019. The zine aimed to establish a historical lineage of women rockers (e.g., Patti Smith, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Alice Bag, Cherry Vanilla, Sharon Jones) while also highlighting contemporary artists and bands through interviews, such as those with singer-songwriters Shilpa Ray and Sarah Shook, the folk and Americana quartet Our Native Daughters, and sludgy post-punkers Wipeout. Issues also include thematic playlists, occasional book and film reviews, and practical articles on topics from touring to workouts to ending a bad date early.
