“Our doors are closed for business,” reads the collective’s statement, posted Monday. “Unfortunately, we frankly hit the wall.”The closure comes after years of financial strain and mounting public controversy. The announcement marks the end of a 26-year run for the collectively run space, which began as a feminist bookstore on Allen Street before relocating to Suffolk Street in 2021. Bluestockings’ harm reduction work drew criticism from many neighbors, who blamed the store for an increase in street-level drug use and public safety issues. Supporters argued the store was being scapegoated for citywide failures in housing and public health.
