It's easy to order books online from Women & Children First

Ordering your books online from a feminist bookstore is one way to support your local (or not-so-local) women's bookstore — and make your own life easier at the same time. This list of books reviewed in this issue makes it a cinch to order all the books you want at one time, in a single shopping cart.

To order from Women & Children First:
1. Click on a book you wish to order.
The link will take you to the page on WCF's website that features the book.
Then click on the "Add to Shopping Cart" button.
2. To add another book, click your back button twice to return to this page and choose your next book.
3. To order books not on this list, click the "Continue Shopping" button to search WCF's database (which includes most books currently in print, whether by women or not).
4. When you're finished, click "Checkout" to complete the ordering process.

Or just print the list and take it to your favorite local bookstore or library.
