Bluestockings (bookstore)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bluestockings is an infoshop (activist bookstore and café) in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. According to its website, the store actively supports "movements that challenge hierarchy and all systems of oppression."[1]
Originally founded by Kathryn Welsh in 1999, Bluestockings was reopened under new management in 2003, widening the focus from feminism to global justice.[2] Since then, it has operated as a worker's collective and volunteer powered space. Another, unaffiliated bookstore store called Bluestocking Books is based in San Diego, California.[3]
