Collection: Kitchen Table Press

Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press was the first publishing house for women of color in the United States to reach a wide national audience. It was founded in 1980 by Barbara Smith and Audre Lorde alongside other visionary writers and activists. Created to amplify the voices of women of color whose work was often excluded from mainstream publishing, Kitchen Table Press became a home for groundbreaking texts that reshaped feminist thought and movement work.

This collection continues our partnership with Black Women Radicals, which is dedicated to uplifting and supporting Black transgender, queer, and cisgender radical women, along with gender-expansive activists, through the powerful perspectives of Black feminism and womanism.
