all about us

While grrl-e-grrl is new to the web, it has been around somewhat irregularly for 5 years.  Brooke started publishing her thoughts (and recruiting friends to do the same) back in college and has continued to do so now that she's in the 'real' world.  Friends finally talked her into going online over the holidays when they gave her the domain name for annual gift giving day.

The online edition will not, Brooke vows, lose the focus established early on.  Celebrate grrls, their contribution to society, their thoughts and fears, their hopes and dreams.  Big or small, it doesn't matter.  As long as we contribute, think, and dream, we will make the world a better place.   It is especially cool when that contribution, thought, or dream is a bit wild...especially for a grrl.  With all the added space that an internet site provides, we are testing the waters with articles on how to help you contribute more.  For example, saving you time and money so that you can spend both doing things that make you and others happy.  We will also include boys from time to time.  Contrary to popular opinion, we write on grrls because we are grrls and we like being grrls, not because we hate boys.  In fact, there are times that we are quite fond of them.

Brooke,  a peace-loving hippie freak with a degree in sociology, dreams of going back to school eventually completing her Ph.D. and spending the rest of her days researching, teaching, and writing for independent zines (especially her own).  That and making the world a happier place.

As for the others... there are many that have contributed over the years.  Hopefully a biography section will be included soon showcasing the writers that contribute most often.  This will allow you, the reader, to understand where we are coming from and why we think the way we do.  Many high school friends, college friends, and internet friends have contributed their thoughts over the past 5 years.  Now that we are online, we hope to have you contribute as well.  If you have thought about writing, check out the submission page and drop us a line...you just may get your chance.

Finally, and we hate doing this, but we're going to beg for money.  The site isn't free and we spend quite a few hours researching, writing, and working on the site.  If you'd like to donate, please do so.  We'd like you to get something for your money, so we set up a store with cafe press.  While we'd love to see you sporting a t shirt, or drinking out of our ever-useful mugs, you can also make a straight-up donation through PayPal. (By the way, the recipient's email is brooke@grrl-e-grrl.com!)  Rest assured, all donations will go into making this experience more enjoyable for our readers.
