In Yolanda Morató's words about her research: 'The female booksellers of London, the pioneers, launched the first bookstores that embarked on a new way of creating culture, enabling many women to find a dignified place of work. I wanted to study how these women became examples of resistance, autonomy, and creativity in the cultural book industry.'
