Overview
A Room of One's Own Feminist Bookstore has been a fixture in downtown Madison, Wisconsin since 1975.
Located for the bulk of those years at 317 W. Johnson, we moved two doors closer to State St. in August 1997 to 307 W. Johnson. With the move, we doubled our space.
A Room of One's Own specializes in women's literature, and offers a wide selection of fiction, nonfiction, periodicals, music, posters, and t-shirts for and by women. We also maintain a non-sexist children's section and stock up-to-date titles in lesbian and gay studies, bisexual and transgender issues, gender studies as well as lesbian and gay male fiction.
Other non-book items we carry are rainbow stickers, rainbow flags, and a variety of bumper stickers. We also provide access to information about housing, employment, counseling, workshops, and events of interest to women and the LGBT community.
We are proud to be a central part of Madison's women's community. Our space has given us the opportunity to provide a meeting place, event forum, and safe spot for the community.
We are open:
Mon-Fri 9AM-8PM,
Sat 9AM-6PM
Sun 12PM-5PM.
