Our Inner Lives (www.feminist.com/ourinnerlives) seeks to be a space for the unified expression of women’s inner and outer lives. Some of us are happy to shout our feminist principles of social and cultural empowerment from the rooftops, but we hush up when it comes to discussions around the role faith plays in our lives behind closed doors. Others of us wear our faith or our religious practice on our sleeves, but don’t discuss our deep internal commitment to women’s full equality in all sectors of life and society. Our Inner Lives honors women’s inner lives of faith, religious practice, spiritual transformation and commitment to causes greater than ourselves. Feminist.com believes that caring for our inner lives makes us more effective in the world, and, simultaneously, being passionately engaged in the world nourishes us inside.
Launched in 1995, Feminist.com is a website and non-profit organization committed to the exchange of ideas and information around issues that are important to women and girls.

Feminist.com’s mission is to empower people to transform and re-imagine the roles of women and men and encourage people to break barriers so they can be full human beings in the world.
