Bluestockings
“Bluestockings is a bookstore, fair trade cafe, and activist center in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
We carry over 6000 titles on topics such as queer and gender studies, global capitalism, feminism, police and prisons, democracy studies, and black liberation. You can also find some good ‘ole smutty fiction. We also carry magazines, zines, journals, alternative menstrual products and other oddly hard-to-find good things.
We host readings, workshops, performances, discussions and films almost every night. Please see our events calendar for details on upcoming events, and when visiting the store, take a look at our community bulletin board to learn about other events happening around the city.
Oh, and we run a cafe which is full of organic, vegan, fair trade goodness!”
