In times of emerging and ongoing crisis, literature is a crucial blueprint for the future and the necessary work that lies ahead. This season, gift your loved ones feminist literature and learning for 2024 and beyond ❤️‍🔥.

Due to a prolonged disruption in our printing and distribution process, issues 48.1, 48.2, 48.3 and 48.4 have been significantly delayed. We are working to remedy this situation as quickly as possible.

Room has faced a major organizational issue that has affected the magazine’s production schedules, and extend our deepest and most sincere apologies for the significant delays in the production and delivery of our recent issues. Full statement:
