ASPIRINA

Online quarterly magazine | Published by the Women’s Bookshop of Milan

Aspirina is an italian humour and satire magazine with cartoons and texts. Started in 1987 on paper, it made its online version in 2013. In 2018, the activity stopped due to a legal dispute with the multinational pharmaceutical company Bayer, manufacturer of the pill of the same name. In the same year, the editorial staff severed its ties with the Women’s Bookshop of Milan, its publisher, due to disagreements over political choices, and founded the magazine Erbacce (Weeds. Forms of life resistant to herbicides) www.erbacce.org.
Aspirina's contributors were women cartoonists, illustrators and writers from different backgrounds and countries, veteran and novice, and some men. Comics, texts, illustrations and videos touched on a variety of topics and ranged from political satire to irony and sometimes even poetry, with freedom and lightness.

The names and links of editorial staff and contributors are on the last page of every issue.
