What we do

and why we do it

WHO WE ARE

Founded in New York City by a passionate feminist, the Lyceum Women Project is a dedicated organization of youth working to create positive changes against the injustices suffered by minorities and youth. Radical change and deconstruction do not always come from enormous rallies or violence; it often begins with the brave voices who seek to be heard.

Our team consists of immensely devoted girls working towards a world of greater equality and righteousness. We are girls who strive for progress. Girls who dream of change.

  • “I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.”

    — Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

  • “One of the simplest paths to deep change is for the less powerful to speak as much as they listen, and for the more powerful to listen as much as they speak.”
