Trump Presidency Reinvigorates Feminist Bookstores
While there are only a handful of feminist bookstores in the U.S., several of them report that the perfect storm of Donald Trump’s 2016 election and the subsequent #MeToo movement have reinvigorated their businesses.
Publishers Weekly recently featured WNDB’s Bookseller of the Year Award Winner Charis Books while discussing the resurgence of interest in feminist bookstores! Check it out:
Despite the increase in traffic and sales, [bookseller E.R.] Anderson said that Charis booksellers are neither surprised nor overwhelmed. “Everything we’ve been saying for the past 40 years is being listened to,” she noted. “We’re finally not being treated as hysterical, crazy femi-Nazis. Feminism is ‘cool.’ It’s definitely a moment.” Charis customers, Anderson added, want to “plug in, and not just march in the streets.”
