Masonic lodges open to women

Masonic lodges open to women

Excluded by men from the origins, women did not access Freemasonry until creating their own mixed lodge "human right" in 1921. There are several mixed secular lodges, but the most important is La Grande Loge Féminine de France, which is exclusively female. Only those who claim to belong to a revolutionary or far-right party are excluded. Marie France COQUARD, great mistress of the Grand Lodge of France, explains that issues related to bioethics, women’s empowerment problems are on the agenda of the sessions. Jacqueline NEBOUT specifies that Freemasonry includes "people of all trades, all genders, all ages, all social classes". Discussions are done freely and with serenity. Yvette ROUDY condemns judicial cases involving Freemason men. She specifies that the gluttony, the arrivism and the "appetite for power" exist little among the freemasons.
