Silver Moon Bookshop
The Silver Moon Bookshop was a feminist bookstore on Charing Cross Road in London founded in 1984 by Jane Cholmeley and Sue Butterworth,[1][2] its name derived from the two symbols of womanhood from a poem by Sappho.[3]
In 1989 Silver Moon Bookshop won the Pandora Award for "contributing most to promoting the status of women in publishing and related trades".[1] In 1990 Cholmeley and Butterworth established an associated publishing business, Silver Moon Books.[2][4] After 17 years, rising rents from the Soho Housing Association forced the shop to close on November 18, 2001.[5][6] It was then incorporated into Foyles bookshop,[7] till 2004, when the Silver Moon department closed.
