“A fascinating account of how women’s bookstores contributed to the antiracist feminist movement and of Kristen Hogan’s personal journey as a bookwoman.” — Lisa C. Moore, Publisher, RedBone Press “Using archival research, interviews, and personal experience, Kristen Hogan offers an insightful, loving history of feminist bookwomen’s vital contributions to social-justice work and literary traditions: their literary advocacy, activism, and transformation; complex lesbian antiracist feminisms; multicultural coalition-building; innovative relational reading practices; and impact on transnational feminisms and the book industry. Blending historical recovery with forward-looking calls to action, The Feminist Bookstore Movement should be required reading for any feminist who appreciates a good book.” — AnaLouise Keating, author of Transformation Now!: Toward a Post-Oppositional Politics of Change
