LFN
Founded within the Loretto Community, the Loretto Feminist Network (formerly known as Loretto Women’s Network) was a voluntary association of feminists in the larger Loretto Community committed to act for the empowerment of women and all people. Members agreed to work toward transforming institutional, personal, and structural relationships based on domination and subordination, both within the Loretto Community and beyond it.
