Feminist and women's hackerspaces

Feminist and women's hackerspaces are physical spaces that are either women-centered or limited to women. While policies on dues, membership, and guests varies, feminist hackerspaces explicitly identify with feminist principles and provide a place to work on projects in a supportive space.  Common examples include projects in programming, advocacy, electronics, womens rights and fine arts.
