Description
A Bookshop of One's Own: The True Story of a Feminist Business Born from Passion and Perseverance
In the 1980s, a group of women dared to challenge the status quo by founding a bookshop that would promote the work of female writers and create a safe space for women. Against a backdrop of homophobia and misogyny, Silver Moon flourished, becoming Europe's biggest women's bookshop and hosting literary stars like Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou.
Written with heart and humour, this book reveals the struggle and joy of starting an underdog business while being a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen. A fascinating slice of social history, A Bookshop of One's Own is a testament to the enduring spirit of feminism and the importance of community.
