Bluestockings, an independent women's bookstore and cafe of New York City's Lower East Side, promotes the empowerment of women through words, art and activism. We work to be an intersection of dialogue and information exchange, providing women-focused books, events, workshops, and a meeting and gathering place. Recognizing the links between oppressions, our goal is to be trans-inclusive, multi-lingual, open to all sexualities and spiritualities, intergenerational and to challenge racism, classism, ablism, sexism, ageism and sizism. We have adopted a collective structure, and we strive to be an organizing site in the struggle for social, economic, and environmental justice.
