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."
