Three decades of Women & Children First

November 10, 2009 by Kathleen Rooney

The Chicago Tribune calls them “more than a bookstore” and I agree.

Read the whole story, including quotes from Sara Paretsky, store founders Linda Bubon and Ann Christophersen, and me here. Thanks to reporter Christopher Borrelli for giving me the chance to talk about my favorite feminist bookstore.

Also, it’s a long way out, but: save the date! I’ll be doing the launch reading for my forthcoming essay collection For You, For You I Am Trilling These Songs there with special guest Erika Mikkalo on Wednesday, January 20, 2010.  There will be snacks.
