About

Feminine Inquiry is a feminist literary and arts zine founded in Austin, Texas by a group of like-minded folks. We are an intersectional zine focused on highlighting the work of women, trans* folk, genderqueer people, people of color, those under the LGBT umbrella, those differently-abled, and more. We want to put these artists, writers and creators in the spotlight of the creative world by creating zines that emphasize the achievements of these people while focusing on the feminist issues which surround their daily lives.
