Sisterwrite was Britain's first feminist bookshop.[1] The bookshop, which opened in 1979, was run as a collective.[2][3] Sisterwrite was located at 190 Upper Street, in the Islington district of north London.[3][4] The bookshop also contained a cafe, called Sisterbite.[4]

Sisterwrite was notable for having a lesbian book section, and became a hub for the local lesbian community.[4][5]

Sisterwrite closed in 1993.[1]
