Montreal, Québec
Canada's only feminist bookstore — a co-op on Rue Beaudry since 2017.
L'Euguélionne is a feminist and queer bookstore on Rue Beaudry in the Village, Montreal's historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood, opened in 2017 and run as a non-profit solidarity cooperative owned collectively by its members. It's named for the title character of Louky Bersianik's 1976 Quebec feminist novel — a visitor from another planet searching for a place where language tells the truth about women's lives. The shelves carry feminist, lesbian, gay, trans, and queer fiction, poetry, essays, graphic novels, children's books, and zines in French and English, alongside pins, posters, and handmade goods from local artists. The store hosts book launches, reading circles, and workshops, and it filled a gap left empty since Librairie L'Androgyne, the city's earlier feminist and gay bookstore, closed in 2002. For a reader passing through the Village, it's the one bookstore worth a detour.

A calm, practical answer to every question first-timers actually have about gay bathhouses — how check-in works, the unwritten rules, what things cost, and why almost everyone there came alone.

The rainbow flag has meant something specific since 1978 — one word per stripe, assigned by the man who dyed the first one. What every color means, why two stripes are gone, and all the other flags.
