Welcome to the home of the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network and birthplace of Bi Women Quarterly, produced in Boston for women everywhere. This site is an affirming space for women with bi+ (bi, pan, fluid, and other non-binary sexualities) and those who love and support us.
About the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network
The Boston Bisexual Women’s Network is a feminist, not-for-profit collective organization that brings women together for support and validation. It is meant to be a safe environment in which women of all sexual self-identities, class backgrounds, racial, ethnic and religious groups, ages, abilities and disabilities are welcome. Through the vehicles of discussion, support, education, outreach, political action and social groups related to bisexuality, we are committed to the goals of full acceptance as bisexuals within the gay and lesbian community, and to full acceptance of bisexuality and the liberation of all gay and transgender people within the larger society.
Who is Welcome?
We welcome all women, including women who identify as bi, fluid, omnisexual, pansexual, questioning, transgender, and our lesbian and heterosexual allies too. Also welcome: non-binary folks who feel comfortable at a women’s event. We are the home of the Bi Women Quarterly, a quarterly publication. Bi Women Quarterly has been around since 1983 and is the oldest continuously published bi women’s newsletter in the world.
We host monthly potluck brunches in members’ homes, a well as other social and educational events. See our calendar for more information. Note: our calendar is also published in each newsletter. If you are in the Boston are area, we also invite you to sign up for the biwomenboston email list so we can keep you informed of local activities and opportunities.
