Unveiling Shadows: The Journey of Women in Freemasonry In the hallowed halls of Freemasonry, a revolution unfolds, not with clamor, but through the quiet determination and indomitable spirit of women. "Unveiling Shadows: The Journey of Women in Freemasonry" offers an unprecedented exploration into the female lodges that have emerged as bastions of empowerment and equality within a tradition long veiled in secrecy. This compelling narrative reveals how, from the early "adoption lodges" to the independent women's lodges of today, women have carved a path of resilience and transformation. Through historical insights, personal testimonies, and a detailed examination of their rituals and degrees, the book paints a vivid portrait of women's evolving role and their profound impact on the Masonic world. Discover the journey of these pioneers who have not only enriched Freemasonry but also challenged and reshaped its very fabric to reflect the ideals of brotherhood, virtue, and equality for all. "Unveiling Shadows" is more than a history; it's a call to recognize the integral role women play in the ongoing story of Freemasonry, inspiring generations to build on the foundations of the past toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

Few people realise that women can become Freemasons. Written not only for Masons but also the interested general reader, this book celebrates the Centenary of a hitherto almost unknown organisation - the Order of Women Freemasons. In the first available record of its history, and using previously unpublished records and photographs, the Order's Librarian and Archivist traces the gradual expansion of the movement from its beginning in London in 1908 as an Order for both men and women to its current all-female membership of thousands over four continents. Well illustrated, with many pictures in colour, the book includes a Preface by the Grand Master of the Order, four appendices including a list of all Lodges and the further Degrees practised and a detailed Index.

Women have been structurally part of the masonic enterprise from at least the middle of the 18th century. Yet, little is known about the ways in which they themselves obtained and exercised power to influence the systems they were involved in, in order to adapt them to be more appropriate to their needs. This volume intends to concentrate on two aspects: Women’s agency (i.e. the power women gained and exercised in this context) and rituals (i.e. the role of men and women in changing and shaping the rituals women work with). These two aspects are closely related, since it requires some agency to realise changes in existing rituals.

Gnosis: Journal of Gnostic Studies is a peer-reviewed publication devoted to the study of Gnostic religious currents from the ancient world to the modern, where ‘Gnostic’ is broadly conceived as a reference to special direct knowledge of the divine, which either transcends or transgresses conventional religious knowledge. It aims to publish academic papers on: the emergence of the Gnostic, in its many different historical and local cultural contexts; the Gnostic strands that persisted in the middle ages; and modern interpretations of Gnosticism – with the goal of establishing cross-cultural and trans-historical conversations, together with more localized historical analyses. The corpus of Gnostic materials includes (but is not restricted to) testimonies from outsiders as well as insider literature such as the Nag Hammadi collection, the Hermetica, Neoplatonic texts, the Pistis Sophia, the books of Jeu, the Berlin and Tchacos codices, Manichaean documents, Mandaean scriptures, and contemporary Gnostic fiction/film and ‘revealed’ literature. The journal will publish the best of traditional historical and comparative scholarship while also featuring newer approaches that have received less attention in the established literature, such as cognitive science, cognitive linguistics, social memory, psychology, ethnography, sociology, and literary theory.

This “stupendous ethnography of female Freemasonry in Italy” reveals the fascinating paradox of elitism and exclusion experienced by “female brothers” (Michael Herzfeld, author of Evicted from Eternity). From its cryptic images on the dollar bill to Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, the Freemasons have long been one of the most romanticized secret societies in the world. But a simple fact escapes most depictions of this elite brotherhood: there are also female members. In this groundbreaking ethnography, Lilith Mahmud takes readers inside Masonic lodges of contemporary Italy, where she observes the ritualistic and fraternal bonds forged among Freemason women. Offering a tantalizing look behind lodge doors, The Brotherhood of Freemason Sisters unveils a complex culture of discretion in which Freemasons reveal some truths and hide others. Female initiates—one of Freemasonry’s best-kept secrets—are often upper class and highly educated, yet avowedly antifeminist. Their self-cultivation through the Masonic path is an effort to embrace the deeply gendered ideals of fraternity. In this lively investigation, Mahmud unravels the contradictions at the heart of Freemasonry: an organization responsible for many of the egalitarian concepts of the Enlightenment and yet one that has always been, and in Italy still remains, extremely exclusive. The result is not only a thrilling look at a surprisingly influential world, but a reevaluation of the modern values we now take for granted

A Civil Society explores the struggle to initiate women as full participants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France's civil society and its "civic morality" on behalf of women's rights. As a vital component of the third sector during France's modernization, freemasonry empowered women in complex social networks, contributing to a more liberal republic, a more open society, and a more engaged public culture. James Smith Allen shows that although women initially met with stiff resistance, their induction into the brotherhood was a significant step in the development of French civil society and its "civic morality," including the promotion of women's rights in the late nineteenth century. Pulling together the many gendered facets of masonry, Allen draws from periodicals, memoirs, and archival material to account for the rise of women within the masonic brotherhood in the context of rapid historical change. Thanks to women's social networks and their attendant social capital, masonry came to play a leading role in French civil society and the rethinking of gender relations in the public sphere.
