The FLINTA* Bookshelf Collective
Smashing the patriarchy one book at a time!
ABOUT US
English-speaking FLINTA* people of Berlin who like community building through books and literature
Our focus is intersectional feminism, politics, gender and queerness. We strive to create a safe(r) space where everyone is treated with kindness and respect and feels safe to speak and speak up.
FLINTA* stands for for female/women, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender, and other non-cis male identities.
We strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment that does not question or police anyone’s identity.

HOT FROM THE PRESS
The FLINTA* Bookshelf
Every new season, we also publish a newsletter with a book review for you to read while waiting on a red light (because Ordnung muss sein! and at least you are in a good company) or in front of a cafe because your date is either late or not showing up.
Say hi!
You might find our stickers all around Berlin. If you do, tag us on Instagram and say hi!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
OMG! This is the best thing that ever happened in Berlin since Döner!
