For female entrepreneurs, coworking spaces have become an enticing alternative to working from a coffee shop. Here’s a list of 15 of the coolest coworking spaces for women.
For emerging female entrepreneurs, coworking spaces for women have become an enticing alternative to working from home, from a coffee shop or from the library. Although all the trend these days, there have been a long line up of women’s-only associations.
Sorosis, a professional women’s association, was created in 1868 by Jane Cunningham Croly, because women were usually shut out of membership in the organizations of many professions.
According to an article on the Eventbrite blog: In “No Man’s Land,” the history podcast by The Wing, host Alexis Coe explains that Sorosis was far more influential than a mere social club.
“Sorosis, and the thousands of women’s clubs that followed, fought for suffrage and educational opportunities,” she explains in the episode devoted to the subject of women’s social clubs.
Coworking spaces for women aren’t anything new. But currently, they are having a huge moment.
And, for women in the #MeToo era, these coworking hubs are more than just a desk and free wifi. They offer a safe space and supportive work environment that women so often need.
These coworking spaces value collaboration over competition, allowing career-driven women to be surrounded by like-minded individuals.
Most of them foster prosperity with luxe perks, amenities, and stylishly designed spaces that members love spending time in. Here’s a list of 15 of the coolest coworking spaces for women.
