Women & Children First

Women & Children First is a truly exceptional independent bookstore. The selection is thoughtfully curated, with a strong focus on literature that uplifts diverse voices and supports women authors. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about books and community engagement. The store maintains a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages browsing and discovery. A valuable neighborhood institution and a wonderful place to find meaningful reads for both adults and children. Highly recommended.

Wonderful bookstore! Places like this are important. They have a huge book selection on feminism, LGBTQ+ literature, POC authors and children books. I’m so incredibly surprised by the effort to gather the curated selection that they offer. A very welcoming atmosphere as well as a feel of community. There’s lots of sections with staff’s recommendations. Staff is nice and friendly. So happy safe spaces like this exist ❤️

Such a fantastic selection of diverse and inclusive books!! And the staff are truly so kind and helpful. This bookstore also hosts some of the best bookish/author events in the city! I plan to come again as often as possible!

Loved this bookstore. It has lots of staff recommendations with thoughtful descriptions which I really enjoyed and appreciated. There are also beautiful greeting cards. Masks inside are required as of October 2023.
