The bookstore served as a space for music, art, socializing, political organizing, health resources, and so much more. In all their events and activities, they sought to open participation in women's civil rights for straight and lesbian women of all income and class levels. The bookstore reflected these values as they sought to include children's materials that were conscious of sexist stereotypes to titles about hard topics like domestic abuse and how-to books like mechanics manuals.
