SHE WRITES She Writes is the leading online destination for women writers today. Since its inception in June 2009, more than 11,000 women writers from more than thirty countries and all fifty states, including many bestselling and award-winning authors, have been sharing support, organizing their knowledge, and doing business on She Writes. A unique community where women writers can create networks and get the services and support they need at every stage of their writing lives, She Writes is a business on a mission: to forever transform the landscape in which women write, publish, and read. We believe writing has the power to change the lives of women; we believe that when women write and publish, they have the power to change the world. She Writes is the brainchild of founder Kamy Wicoff, an author and salonniere based in New York City, and her founding partner Deborah Siegel, an author and blogger

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Women & Children First Bookstore Women and Children First (WCF) is one of the largest feminist bookstores in the country, stocking more than 30,000 books by and about women, children's books for all ages, and the best of lesbian and gay fiction and non-fiction, as well as music, videos, magazines and pride products. WCF began in a modest storefront in 1979 and is now in a northside Chicago neighborhood known for its diversity, queer-friendliness, women-owned businesses and community spirit. Staffers include teachers, graduate students, professional writers and storytellers, political activists, board members, and poets. Each is a reader, a feminist, and a bookseller. Their  mission is to promote the work of women writers and to create a place in which all women can find books reflecting their lives and interests, in an atmosphere where all are respected, valued, and well-served.
