The GRIND Issue 1 is the first zine published by The Feminist Strip Club (FSC). The FSC is a Minneapolis-based group of current and former erotic dancers who explore the current conditions of and utopian visions for stripping.
Issue 1 focuses on the history of Minneapolis zoning and liquor laws that have created a de facto red-light district and how this situation impacts dancers' labor conditions. It includes an inside look at the City of Minneapolis' process of drafting a new ordinance to protect dancers' rights as workers and features opinions, personal reflections, sassy responses to adult entertainment reviews and pin-up worthy photos.
