About Molly and Books That Matter
Books That Matter was born in Molly’s second year of university. A lover of literature written by women, and a feminist herself, Molly wanted to bring women’s writing to an accessible and affordable platform. She took the idea of a feminist book subscription service to an entrepreneurship competition with no prior business experience, and became the first female winner.
With her 拢10,000 investment secured, Molly was able to start Books That Matter. Since then, she has won Female Start-Up of the Year, and been a finalist for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards. She has also appeared on the TV show Dragon’s Den.
