First issue of BITCH — mission statement
“So why Bitch? Because—regardless of those who still think it’s an insult—it’s an action. Because a confrontational stance is powerful. Because Bitch connotes anger, and I agree with bell hooks when she says, ‘Confronting my rage, witnessing the way it moved me to grow and change, I understood intimately that it had the potential not only to destroy but to construct. Then and now I understand rage to be a necessary aspect of resistance struggle,’ (“Killing Rage” in Killing Rage, p. 16).”
