A bookstore in US, Loganberry Books, found a brilliant way to “illustrate the gender gap in fiction”, and they did so by reversing all novels from male writers on their shelves, so each book’s identity is hidden.
The bookstore’s clever “installation” was done for the International Women’s Day, but according to Adweek the shelves will remain in this state through March 14 as part of Women’s History Month.
The visual image is quite powerful as the vast majority of fiction shelves turn white.
The bookstore described this dramatic installation with a sign “We’ve silenced male authors, leaving works of women in view.”
Store owner Harriett Logan says she hopes the project will have dual benefits of illustrating a larger problem while also celebrating the women who make up the minority of fiction authors.
The idea, she says, came from a desire to find new, interesting ways to honor Women’s History Month.
“I was looking for an event and activity to commemorate Women’s History Month, but I grow weary of doing the same thing over and over again,” Logan told Cleveland Scene. “Just reading from great pieces of literature didn’t seem participatory enough, and this activity doesn’t require anything.”
