We Had An Idea...

The Feminist Bookmap is a world map showcasing feminist bookstores, libraries, literature and authors. It is a platform encouraging reading and promoting cultural appreciation of intersectional feminist perspectives. We aim to highlight local female, non-binary, LGBTQI+ and BIPoC writers who are often overlooked in the cultural sector.

Our mission is to provide a non-Eurocentric, multilingual database, giving readers, travelers, and feminists easy access to intersectional feminist resources. The Feminist Bookmap gives a broad audience access to intersectional perspectives as an alternative to patriarchal narratives.

The project aims to be participatory and we invite all visitors to add their favorite bookstores, libraries, literature and other feminist resources through this form.

As two passionate feminists who read, live and work around the world, Alice and Nita came up with the idea for the bookmap in 2022. Since then, the website was created by the project web-developers Helen and Jana, with the iconic logo designed by Bernard.
