Damned Mob of Scribbling Women Literary Society Tote Bag

Proud member of the damned mob of scribbling women. And we're not going anywhere.

In 1855, Nathaniel Hawthorne famously complained to his publisher about the "damned mob of scribbling women" who were outselling their male counterparts.

More than 170 years later, we're still here. Still writing. Still publishing. Still regularly outselling the dudes.

Welcome to the Damned Mob of Scribbling Women Literary Society. Membership is open to anyone who believes women's stories deserve to be told.

Featuring our vintage-inspired, organic cotton, literary society design and custom crest with crossed pens, this tote proudly displays the Latin motto SEMPER MANEBIMUS (We shall always remain).

Perfect for carrying books, notebooks, manuscripts, and all the essentials of a rebellious literary life, this tote bag is part literary history, part feminist statement, and entirely unapologetic.

Perfect for:

• Women writers, authors, and novelists
• Feminist readers and literary history enthusiasts
• English teachers, professors, and librarians
• Book clubs, writing groups, and literary societies
• Bookstore browsing, library trips, and writing conferences
• Anyone who believes women should keep writing, publishing, and making literary history

A clever, empowering gift for the women who write, publish, read, and refuse to be silenced.

They called us a damned mob. We call it a literary movement.

Semper Manebimus. We shall always remain.
