SOURCE: Donation
As mentioned on other blog posts, I have a particular interest in bookmarks from bookshops / bookstores and especially those that specialise in feminist or women’s books and other activities. I recently emailed several of the latter asking if they would like to donate their shop / store bookmark to my collection. In return, I offered to feature these bookmarks on my website and blog and on my bookmarks Pinterest page.
I am delighted and very grateful to have received this bookmark in the post from The Feminist Bookshop in Brighton, England. Thank you so much!
If ever I get to England again, I definitely want to visit this bookshop! I also want to visit Brighton in general, as I have recently discovered, through my ongoing family history research, that I have numerous ancestors from Brighton and no doubt many cousins still living there.

"The Feminist Bookshop is an independent bookshop and plant-based café based in central Brighton. The shop opened in November 2019 following a successful crowdfunding campaign. The concept was born a couple of years ago when the bookshop's founder, Ruth, started running a feminist bookclub in living rooms around Brighton and Hove.
Initially, she was just looking to make some new friends and share a love of books about feminism, but the amazing community that grew out of it inspired her to take it to the next level - and convert her living room into a feminist bookshop!
The idea is to build a community space, encouraging people to come together in a fun, open space for dialogue, discussion and debate.
At the bookshop we seek to support and promote self-identifying female and non-binary writers, creatives and entrepreneurs in all that we do. We stock a range of books written by and about women, host events celebrating female artists and provide a space to talk about the issues that affect us – all while sipping delicious coffees and cakes sourced from awesome female-owned businesses."
