The reading room

Books carried,
books kept.

A slowly grown shelf of memoirs, journalism, poetry and history, chosen by our editors and by the women in our archive.

Featured books

This month's shelf

Six memoirs for an attentive spring.

From Beirut to Belgrade, from Kabul to Kyiv, six women on the slow work of remembering. Curated by our editorial board, with notes on translation and where each book may be found.

We are not a bookseller. Links open Amazon, where the titles can be purchased directly.
