the feminist bookshop
The Feminist Bookshop is a radical independent bookshop and plant-based coffee
shop based in central Brighton. The shop opened in November 2019 following a
successful crowdfunding campaign. The concept was born a couple of years ago
when the bookshop's founder, Ruth, started running a feminist bookclub in living
rooms around Brighton and Hove. Initially, Ruth was just looking to make some
new friends and share a love of books about feminism, but the amazing community
that grew out of it inspired her to take it to the next level - and convert her
living room into a feminist bookshop! The Feminist Bookshop seeks to build a
community space, encouraging people to come together in a fun, inclusive and
supportive space for open dialogue, discussion and debate. We are an
intersectional, anti-racist, trans inclusive and LGBTQIA+ space and we actively
work with charities and organisations to ensure the safety of these communities.
