Where do feminists hang out in Leeds?

I’m moving to Leeds next week (so excited!) after living in the arse end of Surrey for the past 18 years. I really miss having normal conversations with women about the stuff that concerns us and would love to join a women’s group or something similar. When I used to live in Leeds in the 1980s I was heavily involved in women’s activism. Can anyone suggest where to start?

Could try Leeds Spinners. They have a Facebook page and Twitter account.

Thank you - I did think of them. I’m not on Facebook or Twitter but I’m sure they’ll be contactable in some other way.

Maybe it’s not really a thing now to be part of a group and that most activism is online now.

I would say it's the opposite OP, in person groups are more important than ever but yes there is plenty of action online.

Get settled and search on here as I think they have been threads on this before for Leeds but I could be wrong.

Good luck with the move!

That sounds positive OhHolyJesus.

You’re right, I should get settled first - just been living in a political desert for so long I can’t wait to get going again!

If I can find some like-minded women with whom I don’t have to police my language in a conversation in the pub, that would be wonderful.

Did you find a group to join in Leeds @Warmduscher?

I've lived here a long time and it's about time I joined an in person group and went up a gear with my feminism!

Yes! I joined a great group of women’s rights activists and my feet haven’t touched the ground since! DM me if you want more details :)

Leeds has been wokesville for ages, but there are groups which do actions and must have a presence . I think more women are meeting in real life but they don’t advertise publicly so as not to attract the men…

Fantastic! So glad to see you replied!

... I'll have to log on to mumsnet from my laptop tomorrow I normally only use the app. When I'm logged in I can DM you.
