Harriett's Bookshop Owner Named One of Philadelphia's '2021 Citizens of the Year'

The Philadelphia Citizen named Jeannine Cook, owner of Harriett's Bookshop, one of the city's 2021 Citizens of the Year, noting: "Everything about Cook is baller: She founded Harriett's Bookshop in Fishtown with its focus on writers who are women of color; she employs student interns, mentoring them in the ways of entrepreneurship and activism; she hands out free books; she delivers books on horseback; and this year, she added a second, 'sister,' location. She has revived--and changed--what a bookshop can and should be, and we cannot wait to see what she does in 2022."

Cook posted on Facebook: "Aye! Next we gotta get this list of folks in one room working on some collective solutions. Thanks to the Citizen for the shout out."
