The Feminist Library

The Women's Liberation Movement's own library, kept going by volunteers since 1975 and now in Peckham.

Libraries & archivesGo insideFree

Founded as the Women's Research and Resources Centre in 1975, the library has collected what the movement produced - the books, the periodicals from Spare Rib to the smallest newsletters, posters, pamphlets, badges and the papers of campaigns - and lends it, which the university archives holding the same material do not. It moved from Westminster Bridge Road to a community centre in Peckham in 2020 and runs reading groups, launches and workshops from there; anyone can walk in and read.
