What if gossip wasn’t something to be ashamed of, but a powerful tool for connection, resistance, and survival? Spill the Beans is a 24-page zine that dives into the fascinating history of gossip: how it’s been dismissed as a “women’s problem,” weaponized to shame and silence, and yet, throughout history, served as a vital way to share knowledge, preserve traditions, and build community.

Through accessible essays, striking visuals, and surprising historical examples, Spill the Beans reclaims gossip as a force for solidarity and storytelling. This zine invites you to rethink what it means to whisper, share, and spill and to celebrate the ways women and marginalised people have always used gossip to thrive.

Perfect for feminists, cultural history lovers, or anyone curious about the untold power of words passed quietly between friends.
