Abstract
In this paper, I describe research that collects young rural women's stories of “depression” through self-published booklets called zines. Weaving together participant zine images and voices, Mixed Blessings proposes depression as a site of valuable learning on behalf of the communities in which women live. Focusing on depression as transformative, collective learning, the project incorporates the zine as a form for self-expression and popular education.
Keywords: Depression, rural women, zines, self-publishing
