The Silver Moon Women's Bookshop was a feminist bookstore at 68 Charing Cross Road in London, England, founded in 1984 by Jane Cholmeley, Sue Butterworth, and Jane Anger. They established Silver Moon Bookshop to promote women’s writing, serve a community of readers and encourage discussion of women’s issues. The shop served both as a safe space for women to participate in literary events and a resource centre to learn about local feminist initiatives.
