A bright, friendly neighborhood bookshop dedicated entirely to books written by women and lesbian authors.
About
Shelves packed with lesbian fiction, feminist classics, and graphic novels fill this bright, friendly bookshop run by Monica Tschanz. The shop stocks literature written exclusively by women, from rare finds and letter collections to travel diaries and crime novels. Two entire bookcases focus on lesbian writing. The address carries deep queer history. In the 1980s and 1990s, the space was home to Pelze, a nightspot run by lesbians where celebrated authors gave readings. Today, the room feels approachable and homemade. Shoppers can browse paperbacks, pick up postcards, or stop by for evening author readings and discussions about women writers.
