Sisterspace grew out of a book corner in Cassandra Burton's Consignment Boutique on U St. and by 1995 it was an independent bookstore. With Faye Williams, Burton turned Sisterspace and Books into one of DC's most popular spots for African-American women, providing a discussion and meeting room for women in the community as well as for books, readings, and concerts. Williams said "This is more than a bookstore ... This is where people come to connect."
