BookWoman

I am a huge fan of this local bookstore and try to support them as frequently as possible. Every interaction I have had with staff has been very positive, both in person and over the phone. Audrey (my namesake haha) gave me great book recommendations on disability justice the last time I visited. I appreciate that they demonstrate their values by still requiring masks in store. It makes me feel much more safe and comfortable as an immunocompromised person to take my time and browse their amazing and diverse collection.

I love this bookstore and have been coming for over a year now. The negative reviews with no real logic or critical thinking skills speaks more about the person leaving them than the staff and store itself. They’re in the same category of people that still doesn’t understand the Barbie movie after watching it.

Staff is great, I always feel safe going. Plus they have 100% accommodated any books I want to order that they don’t have in stock.

I knew I'd fall in love with this store just by the window art. I felt welcomed and at home. Very friendly and helpful. There was such a wide variety of beautiful books, art, and gifts. Every black childrens book on my internet wishlist was in store! My son sat and read books in the children's section for 30 minutes, he was so cozy. I can't wait to go back.

They have such a variety of empowering books 📚💪 chapter books, autobiographies, self-help, graphic novels you name it book woman's got it love this place get all your lgbtq+ friendly books here! Plus they have a bunch of fun gifts here too

Support indie, support local, support women! I love this bookshop. The recommendations NEVER miss - every book I’ve bought from them so far has been a 5/5. Awesome staff and super friendly! Love me some BookWoman!

This a small but mighty gem of a bookstore. They have a great selection of titles to choose from. There’s something for everyone. IThe shirts and trinkets sold there are also awesome. I wish I wasn’t at the end of a vacation or I’d buy the whole store and take it home with me.

Visited 7-17-21 and was greeted warmly. We were allowed to peruse in peace. Salesperson was knowledgeable and friendly. Titles and categories addressing so many diverse needs and issues. A true Austin treasure. Parking can be tight. Convenient location. Pleasing aroma in the store.

I love BookWoman and make sure to come here every time I visit Austin!

They make good on their promise that they will have books by POC women as well as LGBTQ folks which is always a plus. Even though I frequent my local bookstores out of state, I always find something unique here. They also have stickers, cards, and clothes with feminist sayings on them.

Staff is overall pretty hands off unless you know them so expect a quiet, peaceful browse unless you approach them first. Personally, I prefer to browse at my leisure so I’m ok with that.

Cutest local book shop with great selection of books and other adorable items. I liked the heavy emphasis on Lgbtqia inclusion & political activism.

I called ahead of time to see if they had Mexican Gothic in stock (they did!) and the nice employee there volunteered a discounted book because it was only slightly damaged. I never would have found it otherwise!

I’ll definitely be coming back here to support this lovely small business!

bookwoman — a refuge in a world of chaos. owner susan and staff always ready with a stellar reading suggestion and smile. we are fortunate to have this old-school-austin and labor-of-booklove still in our midst.

The staff is some of the most amazing people you will ever meet, very friendly and welcoming. Supporting local bookshops is always good for the soul. This is a must stop when you're in Austin - you'll never regret walking into such a fantastic community bound by mutual respect and love.

Cute shop with very unique books! I recommend this to anyone looking to support a locally, woman-owned business.

Amazing selection of local and bestseller titles. Susan is a star! Great kids section and gifts galore.

I’ve been coming to BookWoman for many years, and I’m thankful this small business continues to stand strong. It’s a pillar of Austin and a small haven where I can get lost. It’s my happy place! I love the selection and ongoing curated themes. The children’s section includes so many amazing, diverse titles, and I owe the coolness of my home library to BookWoman. I’ve also placed many orders for books that have arrived promptly. I appreciate chats with Susan and hearing her talk about all kinds of books and authors. There’s always a new recommendation to add to my list. I support local and hope others remember this place for gifts, holidays, or some self care. What a treasure to have right here in Austin!

one of my go-to bookstores in Austin! please support the only historic feminist bookstore in Texas. also love that they still require masks.

This store is one of my happy places. They really know what they're doing here, they care SO MUCH, and they really do everything they can for their customers.

As a disabled queer person who is high risk for COVID just as much now as I was in 2020, it means the world to me that BookWoman cares enough about accessibility that not only do they stock a section on disability advocacy and activism, they still require masks in 2023. I feel seen when I am there, I feel like my presence and stories matter.

I love chatting with the employees. Audrey has been especially friendly and helpful, and their book recs have been spot on. I come here for gifts and self care treats, and sometimes just to BE. It's a very important place, and I'm proud to support them on Libro.fm too!

Amazing local bookstore!! In addition to a great widespread selection of inclusive books, there’s also lots of cute stuff like pins, stickers, puzzles, tote bags, etc. Definitely recommend coming here! Staff is super sweet too

This was an awesome bookstore! I went straight home and told my husband that if he or anyone else ever wanted to buy me a gift, I would love any item purchased here.

Visited for first time on Nov 1st.
I totally loved it! Definitely coming back for more LGBTQ+ books ♡♡♡♡♡

This book store is wonderful! The owner Susan was extremely helpful and pleasant. She was highly informative and is a pillar in the Austin community. Her bookstore has been in business for 46years. The door is a quaint bookworms nook dream! I suggest everyone visit this store to get a taste of true Austin culture and history. 100% enjoyed my visit and lesson in Austin herstory.
