A Room of One's Own Feminist Bookstore has been a fixture in downtown Madison, Wisconsin since 1975.
A Room of One's Own specializes in women's literature, and offers a wide selection of fiction, nonfiction, periodicals, music, posters, and t-shirts for and by women. We also maintain a great children's section and stock up-to-date titles in lesbian and gay fiction and studies, bisexual and transgender books. We also carry a variety of fair trade gifts and non-book items, including rainbow stickers, flags, and bumper stickers.
Room is happy to offer e-books through our new website! Simply search e-books in the box to the right, and proceed through the checkout process.
We are proud to be a central part of Madison's women's community. Our space has given us the opportunity to provide a meeting place, event forum, and safe spot for the community.

I Thought You Were Dead by Pete Nelson
Submitted by Room on Sat, 04/24/2010 - 2:11pm

This is a short and sweet story, but it's one of my favorites for a number of reasons- It carries a depth of emotion, humor and creativity. It's not your typical "A man and his dog" tale: It is a study of a man's relationship with himself, his pet, and the world around him.

I Thought You Were Dead: A Love Story (Hardcover)

Bag in the Wind by Ted Kooser, illustrated by Barry Root
Submitted by Room on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 11:03am

Gorgeously drawn story of a plastic bag that gets blown through several stops before ending back up where it began. A great introduction to the consequences of littering and the importance of recycling for everyone. Perfect gift for the eco-friendly children in your life!
