Named for historical heroine Harriet Tubman, our mission celebrates women authors, women artists, and women activists.
“When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven”.
- Harriett Tubman
Stories in Place: Harriett’s Bookshop
Just weeks before the pandemic hit, Jeannine Cook opened Harriett’s Bookshop in Philadelphia as a way to celebrate Black women authors, activists, and artists. Since then, her work has taken on a larger role in the fight for space and sovereignty. Co-directed by Raishad M. Hardnett and Aidan M. Un.
