Toronto Women's Bookstore (Canada)

space for women where books written by women, for women and about women's
issues could be available and for sale. Founded in 1973, the Bookstore
grew from a single shelf of books to what is now the largest, non-profit
feminist & humanistic bookstore in Canada. Site includes new arrivals,
coursebooks for Toronto-area universities, events calendar, bulletin
board, and online search & ordering.
