Bluestockings: The Lower East Side’s Last Radical Bookstore
The term bluestocking, once an 18th century diatribe used to describe women of a scholarly inclination, and, in more recent times, a certain brand of well-read, hip millennial, also refers to a small book shop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side (blue socks and female gender not required). Bluestockings, its sign partially obscured by a tree, houses a few tables, an all vegan Fair Trade café and a selection of books alluding to its namesake: “Violence Against Women,” “Radical Pedagogy,” and “Lesbian Erotica,” to name a few.
