AlterNet looks into the current state of women's and feminist bookstores, and finds a group of specialized stores struggling to keep a shrinking audience. Many have found their audience is changing, on one hand becoming more mainstream as the formerly revolutionary attitudes are commonplace, and on the other hand catering to sexual subcultures looking for an open venue to explore their choices. Of course, Borders and Barnes & Noble share the blame under the Walmartian doctrine of market monopoly.

 An exhibit for this topic... Seems many feminist book shoppes need to get community support in the form of fund rasiers etc to stay alive... Posted by Gracie, 08/22/2005 20:22:57 |
