About Us
Femina Coterie began as a circle of women who came together to share experiences, frustrations, and hope about gender equity in society at large. What started as a small gathering became a movement to create a wider circle where stories, advocacy, and solidarity could come together to inspire change.
Our core values
1. Equity - We believe in dismantling barriers that limit women and marginalized voices, striving for fairness in healthcare, workplaces, and society.
2. Community - We are stronger together. Femina Coterie is a circle of solidarity where experiences and perspectives are honored and shared.
3. Empowerment - We amplify voices, celebrate resilience, and provide tools for people to advocate for themselves and others.
4. Intersectionality - We recognize that gender is only one layer of identity. Race, class, sexuality, ability, and culture all shape how feminism is lived and experienced.
5. Compassion - We lead with empathy, care, and respect for our listeners, our guests, and the communities we serve.
6. Knowledge & Growth - We are committed to continuous learning, sharing insights from history, policy, culture, and lived experience to inspire progress.
7. Action - Feminism is not just conversation, but practice. We encourage small and large acts of change in everyday life.
Our story
Femina Coterie began when a group of women came together to share their experiences of inequity, resilience, and hope What started as conversations among colleagues grew into a vision for a large circle - a community where feminism is not only discussed but lived and practiced daily.
Our history
What started as conversations among friends soon grew into something larger. We realized our experiences were not isolated. They echo the realities of women and marginalized communities everywhere. Late night talks between a trusted circle as now turned into a coterie.
