ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY<br/><br/>The Feminist Bookstall established in July 1982 was an idea that “never got off the ground” [Letter from Sue McGrath and Annette Hodgins dated 22 July, 1982 published in August-September 1982 edition of ‘Wimminews’]. The Bookstall was housed in Canberra at the Women’s Centre at Lobelia Street, O’Connor, ACT. The main reason for its foundation was to provide an important public face for the women’s movement. The Bookstall was a place where Canberra women could make contact with feminists, get involved with feminist activities and gain access to feminist writing and music [Op cit]. The Bookstall was open at the Women’s Centre on certain days. It was taken to the Civic shopping area in Canberra each Saturday and to other venues for specific occasions such as rallies, meetings, and fairs [Ibid].<br/><br/>Sue McGrath and Annette Hodgins hoped that the Feminist Bookstall could work on a non-profit basis keeping the mark-up level as low as possible. The Bookstall sold feminist books, pamphlets, magazines, journals, jewellery badges, stickers, posters, cards, records and crafts. It was a site where women’s writing and music could gain exposure. The Feminist Bookstall was seen as “a way of fighting the ‘rip-off’ of women and the movement by capitalist patriarchs going under the guise of ‘alternative bookshops’” [Ibid]. <br/><br/>There were several reasons for its failure. Both Annette Hodgins and Sue McGrath gained full time employment during the period they were trying to set up the enterprise. Annette Hodgins gives a second reason stating, “in retrospect we felt it was too much for just two of us” [ibid].<br/> |
