Women Freemasons
Women Freemasons have been meeting across the country for more than 100 years.
The United Grand Lodge of England has an excellent working relationship with the two female-only Grand Lodges.
The Order of Women Freemasons
The Order of Women Freemasons (OWF) is the oldest and largest Masonic organisation for women in this country and works on the lines of regular male Freemasonry. It was constituted as the Grand Lodge of the Honourable Order of Ancient Masonry in 1908 and adopted the title The Order of Women Freemasons in 1958.
Women of any race or faith can join — They should be 21 years or older, be of good character and believe in a Supreme Being. The Order has approximately 4,000 members in more than 200 Craft Lodges spread throughout the UK and overseas, which meet a minimum of four times a year and organise fundraising events for local or national charities, plus informal social events.

The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons
Freemasonry for Women, founded in 1913 as The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons (HFAF), is a Masonic fraternity for women with Lodges in the UK and overseas, and about 800 members.
The Lodges have exactly the same aims and ideals as their male counterparts and have identical organisational structures. Their members are encouraged to practise charity, both publicly and privately, and to treat each other fairly at all times.
HFAF believes that every woman should be empowered by increased self-confidence and belief in her abilities.
