It is often stated that Women cannot become Freemasons. This is not strictly true!

It is true that women cannot join the men-only Grand Lodges, however, Freemasonry for women has been around for more than 100 years in the forms of Co (mixed) Masonry and women-only Grand Lodges.

These links will take you to some of the websites of Masonic Orders that Initiate women as Freemasons. Not to be confused with the Order of the Eastern Star which does not make women Masons.
