A Waterstones Best Memoir of 2024

An Independent and Stylist Best Non-Fiction Book for 2024

The captivating true story of an underdog business – a feminist bookshop founded in Thatcher’s Britain – from a woman at the heart of the women’s liberation movement.

What was it like to start a feminist bookshop, in an industry dominated by men? How could a lesbian thrive in Thatcher’s time, with the government legislating to restrict her rights? How do you run a business when your real aim is to change the world?

Silver Moon was the dream of three women – a bookshop with the mission to promote the work of female writers and create a much-needed safe space for any woman. Founded in 1980s London against a backdrop of homophobia and misogyny, it was a testament to the power of community, growing into Europe’s biggest women’s bookshop and hosting a constellation of literary stars from Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou to Angela Carter. While contending with day-to-day struggles common to other booksellers, plus the additional burdens of misogyny and the occasional hate crime, Jane Cholmeley and her booksellers created a thriving business. But they also played a crucial and relatively unsung part in one the biggest social movements of our time.

A Bookshop of One’s Own is a fascinating slice of social history from the heart of the women’s liberation movement, from a true feminist and lesbian icon. Written with heart and humour, it reveals the struggle and joy that comes with starting an underdog business, while being a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen.

Really nice, husband loves them!
Color: White, Size: Queen
Nice and soft. These feel like a good hotel pillow. Just got them for my husband as he likes a "down alternative" pillow whereas I like something a bit firmer. He said he really loves them. Not sure if they will flatten with time. I'm sure they will like most every pillow out there. But so far so good.

The best blanket I’ve owned!
Size: Oversized King(120"x96"), Color: White, Size: Oversized King(120"x96"), Color: White
The first king size comforter to actually fit my king size bed properly. All of my previous comforters were too short/not wide enough. I ordered the oversized king and it’s the best fit I’ve ever seen. It’s lightweight enough for summer but still heavy enough to be warm in the winter. You can feel the quality in this blanket. And it comes with a carrying bag as well!

It’s a great purchase
Size: Full/Queen(90"x90"), Color: White
I purchased this on a whim. I’m glad I did! It is the right weight and provides the warmth I crave at night. Most importantly it is quiet. My old down made a crinkly sound when moving which disturbed my sleep. This one thank God, does nothing of the sort.
