Barscheit (also spelled Barschejt) was a Canadian underground, feminist zine from the early 1990s, created by Lisa Robertson, Catriona Strang, and Christine Stewart. Its pages brought together poetry, prose, images, and playful, disruptive forms of writing.
Its cover, set in Cloister Black, reuses a famous sixteenth-century caricature from Der Papstesel, a satirical pamphlet created by Martin Luther, Philipp Melanchthon, and Lucas Cranach the Elder.
