Filia capitalisation.

[IguanaBerta]

Hi, I'm a lurker here mainly, love the discussion but not really interested in talking, but just I minor point I can't work out. Does anybody know why the weird capitalisation of Filia? I looked on their site and I can't see an explanation, that kind of capitalisation should indicate some form of acronym.. It's a minor thing but it keeps bugging me and I was just wondering if someone here knows?

Filia used to be Feminism in London, which was abbreviated to FiL. At a certain point they decided to have the conference in different cities, so it couldn't be FiL anymore.

I'm not sure how they came up with the new name, but it looks like they were trying to give an indication of the old name with that capitalisation.

And for those who weren't listening in Latin class, Filia is Latin for "Daughter".

or never had Latin lessons...

It stand for
Feminism in London in Action
