Last Saturday night was the soaringly splendid anniversary splash of the Toronto Women’s Bookstore which is celebrating its 35th year.
A cornerstone in many feminists’ literary ventures, TWB has broken many barriers and set an international example of what being an inclusive feminist is all about (and it doesn’t only have to do with gender y’all).
A fantastic night was had by all with praise and hope for another 35 years of this necessary store remaining open.
Do you have any memories of TWB you’d like to share?
My sister Jennifer and I with the super-incredible Sto:lo/Métis writer Lee Maracle who was on hand to perform her magical works. She was a huge influence on me to identify as an Indigenous feminist.

Our comment policy
Shameless prides itself on the diversity of opinions expressed by our writers, and we encourage and appreciate different points of view. Our intention at Shameless is to foster community and to maintain a safe and positive blogging environment; we do not consider it our duty to give a voice to anybody with an opinion.
Discussion on this site is moderated. We will delete comments that:
(We get to decide what's discriminatory, hateful, attacking, or inflammatory).
In some cases, we will cap off comments on a discussion when we feel they are spiralling out of control and fostering an unwelcoming space for bloggers and readers. Comments will be closed by the Web Editor, unless the post is by the Web Editor, in which case the Editor in Chief will close them.
If your comments repeatedly make the same point, they may be deleted. This also applies to comments made by multiple members of the same organization.
Your comments should be about the topic of the post, not its writer—although we certainly encourage praise for our writers, if you want to say something nice.
