Aspirina

Aspirina is a magazine of humour and satire with cartoons and texts. Started in 1987 on paper, it made its online comeback in 2013. Aspirina contributors are women cartoonists, illustrators and writers from different backgrounds and countries, veterans as well as beginners, and a few men with whom we feel an affinity. Aspirina is published by The Women’s Bookstore of Milan, which has a a long history of radical feminism. What makes women – many women or just one – laugh or smile? This is the kind of humour we want, our challenge. Comic strips, texts, illustrations and videos touch a variety of subjects and range from political satire to irony and, sometimes, even poetry. We see the world from the clouds of our strips, as befits cartoonists, and we invite you to look at it in freedom and lightness.
