News From Nowhere is a bookshop in Liverpool, UK. Founded in 1974, it is a not-for-profit and since the early 1980s has been run as a women's co-operative.[1][2] It is named for the 1890 utopian socialist novel by William Morris.[3]
It has been based on Liverpool's Bold Street since 1989.[4] The co-operative owns the building from which it operates thanks to donations from locals. This allows it to be used as a community space by various organisations, including Food From Nowhere, a donation-only vegan cafe.[5] Longstanding staff member Mandy Vere explains: "We've had a lesbian mothers group, we've had a working class women writers group, we've had a survivors of sexual violence group. We've hosted local neighbourhood campaigns against rapacious landlords, the local HIV and AIDS support group".[1]
