Word Power Books first opened in 1994 by Elaine Henry. in the 1980s Henry had worked in a feminist bookshop in Edinburgh named 'Womanzone'. After Womanzone closed in 1986 Henry felt there was still a need for a radical bookshop in Edinburgh and so began working towards establishing Word Power. The shop opened in November 1994, with a formal opening in December by Booker Prize winning novelist James Kelman. Since opening it has gained a reputation for supporting non-mainstream writers and ideas. In February 2017 Henry announced that she was stepping down "for personal reasons rather than the market" and was looking to sell the shop, leaving its future unclear. More information...
