No, that headline is not clickbait. It’s true that Aesop Singapore is giving away books for free through its Women’s Library at Aesop VivoCity and Aesop Marina Bay Sands until 24 April in an effort to elevate women’s voices and stories and foster strength and solidarity among all women.
Gone are the usual displays. Aesop’s shelves at VivoCity and Marina Bay Sands are filled with books.
The books at Aesop Singapore Women’s Library
The store shelves of the said Aesop branches are currently devoid of the usual minimalist skincare and body care products we love. In their place are a selection of interesting books mostly by female Southeast Asian authors and those who identify as allies.
The Aesop Women’s Library features a collection of carefully curated recommendations from publishing houses in Singapore — ranging from short stories to poetry.
