Former owner Linda Bubon fondly remembers Gloria Steinem's impactful visits to the Women & Children First bookstore over two decades. Steinem, a renowned journalist and activist, co-founded Ms. Magazine, a groundbreaking national publication focused on feminist issues. Her influence expanded significantly as she addressed intersecting concerns of class, race, and sexuality in the United States.

Carol Moseley Braun in 1992 and discussed Hillary Clinton's presidential prospects in 2013. Her final memoir is set for release soon, marking the conclusion of a remarkable writing career.
