Über den Autor
Trina Robbins has been called Bad by the best of them. More polite people simply refer to her as outspoken. The author of several books, including From Girls to Grrlz, Tomorrow's Heirlooms, and The Great Women Superheroes, she has been a pagan since 1977. She admittedly can't live without cats, and she considers herself the oldest grrrl in San Francisco.
