Modern Times Books

Modern Times Books, located at 888 Valencia Street in San Francisco, is a progressive resource for the Bay Area and a neighborhood bookstore for the Mission. Collectively operated since 1971, we are a vibrant progressive and literary bookstore offering wide-ranging literature on globalization, politics and media, as well as an array of graphic novels, fiction, and criticism. We are proud to offer some of the best queer/trans and feminist sections of any bookstore in the Bay Area, and feature one of the Bay Area’s most extensive collections of writings on Latina/o history and culture, including a full selection of Spanish language books. And did we mention our children’s books? Modern Times also fosters a vital literary community with an exciting calendar of events, a blog, and community resources. We are a surviving, thriving indie bookstore in the face of chain stores and Amazon, a fiercely queer and radical community hotspot, and a place where independent literature is in bloom. We’re proud to be Butch Voices official bookseller. We look forward to attendees checking out conference presenters’ books and browsing a fine selection of books andmagazines by and about butch lives, butch/femme cultures, identities and sexualities, queer and trans liberation, erotica and more!

1st Place

Our 1st place contestant in the BUTCH Voices Video Contest is Linda Miller for her video, “I Know, I Know, I Know.” We felt this piece was an awesome example of the complexity that is Butch identity. In this piece Miller offers a song she’s written about a lover whom “she knows” she’s not right for, as she croons, “I’m not the one you need.”
