Why it matters: open since 1975, this is one of Europe’s longest-running feminist bookshops, run collectively by more than 40 women through the Circolo cooperativo delle donne Sibilla Aleramo. The shelves hold work from over 3,000 women authors and 10,000+ titles, including out-of-print feminist texts you won’t find elsewhere, and the shop still publishes its own quarterly journal, Via Dogana, and hosts regular talks and discussions. Browse the fondo librario of rare, out-of-circulation feminist writing, and check the schedule for an evening incontro if you’re around – visitors are genuinely welcome to sit in.
