About Me

I am a multicultural, feminist bookstore located in Toledo, OH. In fact, I happen to be the only feminist bookstore in Ohio! With two floors of books, magazines, videos, DVDs, clothing, CDs, and other miscellaneous items, you are sure to find something you'll enjoy.

I also hold events open to the community- book signings, concerts, et cetera. I am also where the local chapter of the National Organization for Women, the Take Back the Night Collective, and the Lavender Triangle Organization meet.

My hours are:

Monday- closed
Tuesday- Saturday- 11am-7pm
Sunday- closed

I am located in the Cricket West Shopping Plaza next to Ramalama Records.
3153 W. Central Avenue
