A Woman's Place [...is in the Resistance]

Let's share some of our thoughts on the women we see in media as well as our favorite fanworks of our favorite women characters.
In honor of International Women's Day & Women's History Month (U.S.), the community will be open March 1-31 for posting meta and recs of fic, vids, art, podfic, meta, graphics, etc - any fannish endeavor you enjoy. Self-recs are welcome.

Note: Fanworks or Meta should be focused on characters who identify as women or who are aligned with womanhood. Please use your best judgement when dealing with non-binary characters. All relationship types and combinations are eligible.

To post a rec or meta*, use this optional form and create a new post to the community and please tag your rec with the fandom & fanwork type or '!needs a tag' if you don't see it listed.
*For meta, you may link to another post or post the entirety of your thoughts directly to the community (please use a cut if it's long or contains pictures, etc).

Let's share some of our favorite fanworks of our favorite women characters. From now until July 30, the community will be open for posting recs of fic, vids, art, podfic, graphics, etc - any fannish endeavor you enjoy.

Note: Fanworks being recommended should be focused on characters who identify as women or who are aligned with womanhood. Please use your best judgement when dealing with non-binary characters.

All relationship types and combinations are eligible, again use your best judgement. For example, I love the Star Wars OT3 relationship of Poe/Finn/Rey, but most fanworks with that relationship aren't going to qualify here. Something that is tagged as Rey/Kylo could, but only where it's largely Rey's POV or about her journey, etc. Feel free to leave a comment here or PM me if you have any questions.

To post a rec, use this form and create a new post to the community.

Please include notes on why you're recommending the fanwork. What spoke to you? If it's a self-rec, what inspired you?
And finally, please tag your rec with the fandom & fanwork type or '!needs a tag' if you don't see it listed.

Hello!! And welcome to womansplace!!
All supporters of women and those who align as such are welcome. Details about current happenings here can be found in the community profile.


On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision holding that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides a fundamental "right to privacy", which protects a pregnant woman's right to an abortion.
This court decision has not been codified (ie. backed up with legislation) and has been under attack ever since.
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overruled Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Our current call to action (call to auction?) is to raise funds for National Network of Abortion Funds AbortionFunds.
You can read more about abortion funds here or watch the video below to find out more.

What other organizations do you recommend for their work in supporting women? It does not need to be abortion related. Are there organizations help women who experience domestic abuse? How about immigration resources that uplift women in some way? What organizations are working at the intersection of women and other marginalized groups? What about other women's health issues?

Please leave a comment with the name of the resource, what they do, and a link so others can learn more.

NEW for 2023 - If you'd like to include an additional option with your vid offer, please let details about the organization here. One of the key missions of the organization must be in support of women. Donations must be able to be submitted internationally.
Please no religious organizations (not that religious groups are wholistically good or bad, but I don't want to moderate such nuances in a community like this).
