Photographer Anna Gordon has been granted extraordinary access to the historically secretive Freemasonry for Women lodge, one of two Grand Lodges for women in the UK operating for more than a century, as it looks to the future
The first women’s regular masonic lodge in the United States was consecrated in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, 25 May 2019, by the Honorable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons (HFAF). This historic event marks the Centennial of the 19th Amendment giving women in the United States the right to vote.
Female Freemasons have been gathering for more than 100 years - conducting initiations, ceremonies and rituals like their male counterparts. Now, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme has been given unique access to their secret societies.
