Katharine Case started publishing an anarcho-feminist zine at the age of 14 in Phoenix. She has used writing as her primary tool for stirring shit up ever since. She moved to San Francisco in her 20s where she did regular readings at rancid bars as the token feminist party girl columnist for the seminal punk magazine, Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll. She currently resides in New York, where she’s spent the last ten years teaching English at a public school where she helps complicated kids find their own voices.
