Historically, because men’s power over women denied them the right to participate in the public space, the cultivation of safe, women-only spaces has been a vital counterspace created for women to network and for feminist movements to organize. These spaces and the activists working within them facilitated women to recognize their own agency and power for change (power within), their power to organize themselves to articulate the changes they wanted to make (power to), and collectively transform the systems that oppressed them (power with).
