Broad Vocabulary - Place # 16

While in Milwaukee, Susan also stopped in at Broad Vocabulary, the city's own feminist bookstore, in the Southside Bayview neighborhood, where many of the girls live in Milwaukee. This is a great bookstore that offers so much more than books, including readings and meeting space for community groups. It was founded by three Univeristy of Wisconsin - Milwaukee graduates of the Women's Studies Program, which Susan used to direct when she worked there. How great is it to see grads of the program making positive change in the city! If you're ever in Milwaukee you should definitely stop in to this interesting place on South Kinninckinick (KK) street and see what new plots the girls are brewing.
