Women and Children First was a weekly pilgrimage for me when I lived in Chicago. I'd buy something completely mind-bending (and everything was, for a barely-out-of-my teens sheltered suburban Catholic kid) and sit at Kopi Cafe all afternoon soaking it all in. Fantastic bookstore, fantastic selection, great people. Wow. Oh, wow. Women and Children First was a weekly pilgrimage for me when I lived in Chicago.

Things never worked out on that end, but I still remember visiting Women & Kids, and buying my very first copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves. It was a lovely, safe, accepting place, almost like a hug when you walked through the door. That and Kopi Cafe...fond memories from about 15 years ago. Vancouver lost its feminist bookstore, Women in Print a few years back, and it was very, very saddening to see her go.
