Nothing can put the brakes on BookWoman’s fierce feminist mission to provide inclusive, progressive literature to the people of Austin – even a January freeze. Though the weather may have postponed some of the bookstore’s 50th anniversary celebration this winter, the pillars of queer, feminist resistance return triumphant to Cheer Up Charlies this Saturday with a performance from proto-riot grrrl punk group Girls in the Nose, honoring the band’s own four-decade milestone. Prepare to rock, read, and relish in Austin’s longstanding legacy of creative radicals at this all-ages bash supporting the future of feminist literature. – Caroline Drew
