A Night with Bitch Magazine

A Night with Bitch Magazine
Saturday November 8th 8pm
 
Lisa Jervis, Marisa Meltzer, and Andi Zeisler of Bitch magazine will come to Quimby’s to read from their Family themed Fall issue (as well as some old favorite articles) and answer questions in what should hopefully be a lively Q&A session.
 
Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture is a print magazine devoted to media criticism, and witty, occasionally snarky pop culture analysis. It features critiques of TV, movies, magazines, advertising, and more?-plus interviews with and profiles of cool, smart women in all areas of pop culture.

cats.
 
Marisa Meltzer is the Publicity Manager and frequent contributor to Bitch. Her work has also appeared in Venus, Index, and Black Book. Copies of the latest issues of The Baffler and US Weekly currently coexist peacefully on the coffee table in the Brooklyn, New York home she shares with her dog.
 
Andi Zeisler is a writer, editor, illustrator, textile designer, and human Zip disk for all manner of pop-culture trivia. She is the co-founder and co-editor of Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture and the former pop-music columnist for the SF Weekly and the East Bay Express. Her work has also appeared in Ms., Bust, Hues, Mother Jones and the Pottery Barn catalog.
