About Cambridge Women’s Center: Founded in 1971, following a women’s movement building takeover, the Cambridge Women’s Center has been developing innovative programs and services for women of all backgrounds for 52 years. We offer all of our programs and services completely free of charge! We are the oldest continuously operating community center for women in the United States and are excited to see what we can accomplish in the next half-century! Read more about the history of the Cambridge Women’s Center here.
The Cambridge Women’s Center is a physical and digital community space open to anyone for whom woman is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. We offer a safe space for learning, emotional support, empathy, and empowerment through self-determination. Our understanding of the terms woman and feminism is intersectional, and we strive to create a community that is inclusive and actively working towards justice for Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, those with disabilities and/or mental illness, folks experiencing housing insecurity and other groups (both national and international) targeted for oppression.
