In Other Words Women's Books and Resources is an independent non-profit feminist bookstore in NE Portland, Oregon. It is believed to be one of the last non-profit feminist bookstores in the country.[1] [2] Founded in 1993 by the Women's Community Education Project, it sells books on the topics of feminism, queer studies, and transgender studies among others. The store is also a community center and hosts a variety of study groups and classes. The store is staffed primarily by volunteers.
The store was originally located on SE Hawthorne Blvd. in Portland and moved to the NE (near Alberta) in 2006 due to the high cost of rent in the Hawthorne district.[3]
At the end of 2008 the store faced severe financial hardship, however raised the funds to keep the doors open.[4]
