Two Shrews Press

About this Publisher

We are inspired by women and girls who, every day, listen to each other and, implicitly or explicitly, talk back to the patriarchy. We are inspired by our respective cities of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and New York, New York, and the possibilities of conversation between coastal and middle America. As far as we know, no other publisher lives and works from both places. Our name comes from a miniature zine Steph found in a Vancouver stationery store, called One Shrew Two Few, that wordlessly and perfectly illustrates what it’s like to be separated from your soulmate, operating alone in the world, missing a co-conspirator. Having been “one shrew too few” on too many important occasions, cofounders Liz and Steph are delighted to be reunited as Two Shrews. Plus it never hurts, in publishing, when your name resonates with Shakespeare.
