Abstract
In this article, I focus on the contexts in which the Brontë juvenilia and Riot Grrrl zines were created, rather than offering a literary study of them. My focus is on how the different creators produced their texts. I explore the theoretical approach of feminist media studies with particular attention to its notions of identity formation as foundation for the comparison of these texts. I outline the Brontë juvenilia and provide a brief history and background of Riot Grrrl zines and offer a comparative analysis of the two media. I conclude by identifying the importance of studying girls’ engagement with the practice of writing in terms of identity formation and expression, and suggest ways that this study can be applied to future critical work.
