A Bookshop of One’s Own – Jane Cholmeley

Silver Moon was 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 to Maya Angelou. Join founder Jane Cholmeley, a feminist and lesbian icon, for a fascinating slice of social history and a celebration of the power women have to change the narrative when they are the ones holding the pen.
