A $25 gift certificate to the celebrated independent book store in Andersonville.
Women & Children First began in a modest storefront in 1979. Staffers include teachers, graduate students, professional writers and storytellers, political activists, board members, and poets. Each is a reader, a feminist, and a bookseller.
The purpose in beginning the store was to promote the work of women writers and to create a place in which all women would find books reflecting their lives and interests. They strive to do this in an atmosphere in which all are respected, valued, and well-served. That is their purpose still, online as well as in the store.
They are one of the largest feminist bookstores in the country, stocking more than 30,000 books by and about women, children's books for all ages, and the best of lesbian and gay fiction and non-fiction. Anything they don't have in stock they can usually get in a few days' time, even if it's a title outside their specialty. They also carry cards, magazines, blank books and journals, calendars, CDs, gift items like candles, and pride products.

Valid for in-store purchases only.
