"Penguin is launching a pop-up bookshop stocked solely with titles by female writers for International Women’s Day.
The bookshop, opening on 1-3 Rivington Street in East London from 5th to 9th March in partnership with Waterstones, has been named "Like A Woman" and will stock titles from the likes of Malorie Blackman, Iris Murdoch, Caitlin Moran, Malala Yousafzai, Zadie Smith and Margaret Atwood.
According to Penguin Random House, the initiative is a celebration of "the way that women contribute, often under the radar, to every facet of society" and recognises female figures who have "made a difference or fought for change" in fields such as politics, activism, writing, art, science, sports and culture, among others. The hashtag #LikeAWoman will be used online to promote the pop-up."
