Librairie L'Androgyne

Librairie L'Androgyne is a bookstore in Montreal's Gay Village specializing in LGBTQ+ and feminist literature in French and English. The shelves hold academic texts, fiction, poetry, non-fiction works, and locally made merchandise carefully selected by the staff.

The bookstore opened in 1973 as a dedicated space for LGBTQ+ and feminist publications. Over the decades it has moved several times, eventually establishing itself in the heart of Montreal's Gay Village.

The bookstore serves as a gathering place where people come for readings, talks, and events about LGBTQ+ and feminist topics. You will find visitors staying to chat and connect with others who share similar interests.

The bookstore is easily accessible by public transit and has a clear layout that makes browsing straightforward. Plan to spend time exploring since the collection is organized by theme and regularly updated with new titles.

The store maintains partnerships with international feminist organizations to source books from authors whose voices are often overlooked by mainstream publishers. This commitment has made it a vital archive for perspectives that are hard to find elsewhere.
