Tulsa Womens Collective

About Me

This is not a protest site. I'm trying to gather a group of ladies together to discuss female-centered issues, literature, complaints, joys, and whatever else comes to mind. I think it's very important that women find a safe, non-judgemental environment where they can speak freely and receive empathy and I hope this group will do that for you!

We used to meet every Wednesday at the Central Library, but Jennifer moved to Georgia last month and things are being re-worked by Spring. Watch this website for things happening soon!

I can't stress enough that this is an organization for women to connect with each other-- there is no negative, man-hating agenda. It's going to be fun!!

"No person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended." -Alice Walker


"[Feminists are] just women who don't want to be treated like shit."

"We are the strong, independent, smart, thinking, laughing females who like to be called "women" but think of ourselves are girls, living in apartments we call our "rooms," loving and losing and beginning to give up our girlhood idea that we'll ever really feel like "grown-ups," that we'll always consider ourselves "girlfriends" even if we become wives, that we may even feel like children even if we ever become mothers, and that we'll always need to have our friends around to go out and play with." -Celina Hex

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Watch this rad Samantha Crain video directed by local hero Sterlin Harjo!

Everyone remember sitting alone pining in your middle school/high school bedroom listening to this song over and over?

Don’t fall for it...

Gals, lets all recognize that John McCain only picked Sarah Palin to usurp female voters from Barack Obama. She has broken no glass ceiling, and is only a pawn in McCain's desperate game.

wearing the pants
