The Silver Moon Bookshop was a feminist bookshop on Charing Cross Road in London founded in 1984 by Jane Cholmeley and Sue Butterworth,[1][2] its name derived from the two symbols of womanhood from a poem by Sappho.[3]

In 1989 Silver Moon Bookshop won the Pandora Award for "contributing most to promoting the status of women in publishing and related trades".[1] In 1990 Cholmeley and Butterworth established an associated publishing business Silver Moon Books.[2][4] After 17 years, rising rents forced the shop to close in 2001.[5] It is now incorporated into Foyles bookshop.[6]
