What we’re about
In honour of Hypatia, a mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer from the Hellenistic era in ancient Egypt, this group was formed to encourage all women to seek their best, most knowledgeable selves and to find camaraderie with other women following a similar path.
We are a group for discerning women to share thoughts and information over a cuppa, organise social activities perhaps walks or movies, to find support during the journey through life, and to talk about non-fiction books. We are an inclusive group whether you're child-free by choice, not from the U.K., or trans. This is not a group for horseshoe extremists or TERFs. We gather to discover our similarities rather than to weaponize our differences.
The non-fiction book group will meet on alternating months to discuss a book selected democratically. The book topics might include gender issues, science, biographies, environmental issues, animal rights, politics, etc.
While we appreciate allies, men are excluded to create a safe space where women feel empowered who might otherwise remain silent or modify their voice.
This is our sanctuary. Let's make it exemplary.
