The Feminist Library

Archiving our herstories since 1975

The Feminist Library is a large collection of Women's Liberation Movement literature based in London. We are a library and community space and support research, activist and community projects.

In 2020 The Feminist Library celebrates 45 years of archiving and activism. Mainly volunteer run, we have created and looked after one of the most important collections of feminist material in the UK, and provided an inspiring learning and social space for thousands of people.

If you would like to support the Library (and fight the patriarchy 😉) please donate through the link below.

Give a regular monthly donation of £3 per month or more (in exchange for some perks!) Our current 250 Friends cover around 60% percent of our running costs, it would be great to get this to 100%. Will you be our Shero and help the Library to survive and thrive for years to come?
