Songkram-Nari (Battles of Women) is a zine that explores the cultural context of internalized misogyny which is a sexist attitude adopted upon women that not only affects other women in society but also themselves. By emphasizing the influence of soap operas, in shaping perceptions which promote internalized misogyny in Thai society

By dissecting the most relevant tropes in Thai soap opera: Crybaby protagonist , Legitimate wife, Red lip villain, and Girly villain and utilizing handmade collage zine as a medium to celebrate a rebellious spirit of Riot Grrrl feminist movement during the 1990s that also use zine as a medium for revolution. This approach could help the audience to reflect the irrationality of assessing women's worth based on superficial factors such as appearances, social status, careers, characteristics etc,. And hopefully will change their perceptions in this area.
