Help Save the Toronto Women’s Bookstore
by Adam on Dec.17, 2009, under Miscellaneous Wondering
The Toronto Women’s Bookstore has run into some problems due to the economy and a recent internal shakeup; now it is on the brink of shutting its doors for good.
It’s a great bookstore that I have visited many times and has been a great resource for a lot of my readings for school.
A Facebook group has been created to spread the word and Torontoist has a post on the current situation and a bit on their history:
One of the last and largest non-profit feminist bookstores in North America, the thirty-six-year-old TWB has weathered its share of troubled times: in 1984 the store was firebombed along with a then-attached Henry Morgentaler abortion clinic, in the 1990s it pulled itself out of the red in a time when most of North America’s feminist bookstores went under, and in the early years of this decade it resisted a post-9/11 wannabe boycott waged in response to the sale of politically controversial buttons.

Perhaps the best 5 second film I’ve seen.
