Updated on Monday, April 28th, 1997

A Netscape 2.0+ and Graphics Enabled version of this page is also available, as is an ASCII text file, a short rant on the importance of supporting women's and lesbian/gay bookstores, and my grateful acknowledgement of the invaluable help I've been gifted with. A new feature is a list of recommended books of interest to women.

You may also be interested in my women's and alternative sexuality link lists.

This Index contains explicitly gay male and lesbian bookstores with significant feminist and lesbian resources. For more traditional feminist stores please refer to the Feminist Bookstore Indices referenced above.

This index is in a state of flux and growth. Any errors or ommisions are entirely my own but represent the best information available to me at the time and I disclaim any responsibility other than correcting such errors as they are brought to my attention. I will respond promptly to any store which contacts me with corrections and will update their listing at the earliest opportunity. Omission or inclusion of a store is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of any particular store but merely represents the fact I somehow missed it or that another woman recommended the store, either to me or to one or more of my research associates, women around the world who are commited to women's literature and publishing. If you are aware of any additions, deletions, or other changes that should be made to this index, please contact me as described at the bottom of this page and they will be incorporated in the next update.
