Ni Una Menos Library: more than 400 feminist books in public libraries

On Saturday, April 30, LATFEM and Casa Brandon will present the Ni Una Menos Library, a transfeminist library with more than 400 books from nearly 100 publishers, to be donated to the City’s Public Library Network. The event will be at the Casa de la lectura (Lavalleja 924, CABA) and at Casa Brandon (Luis María Drago 236, CABA), in which writers and journalists such as Diana Bellesi, I Acevedo, Malena Rey and Tamara Tenembaum will participate, among others. The catalog will be available here from April 30; there you can consult titles of narrative, poetry, essay, non-fiction, juvenile and children. The library will travel through different neighborhoods of Buenos Aires until it reaches the Alfonsina Storni Women’s Library, where it will remain
With a selection of books published in Argentina during the xxi century, the titles of this library were selected according to their feminist reading effect. “Attentive to the great circulation of social discourses associated with the gender perspective and trans/feminisms, to form this compendium, books that reflect and represent the affections, debates and problems that nourish local feminisms were privileged,” they continued. Around 45,000 people come per year from the libraries of the City of Buenos Aires. The population most represented are people over 55 years of age. BNUM’s proposal is that these spaces are appropriated by different age groups, attracted by this heterogeneous and contemporary catalog. The Ni Una Menos Library seeks to promote the encounter between authors and publishers and those who inhabit the City of Buenos Aires, through the Network of Public Libraries. It is directed by LatFem Periodismo Feminista, with the support of Brandon for Equality/Equity of Rights and Opportunities and the General Directorate for the Promotion of Books, Libraries and Culture of the City of Buenos Aires.
