Some Faces of WILLA

We are working hard to create to a website through which all of our members may enter into conversations with one another. Until it is built, we hope that you'll join the conversations that are already happening on Facebook, Twitter, and The WILLA List Wiki.

You can also learn more through reading "Your Silence Will Not Protect You": A Conversation Between WILLA Co-Founders and Co-Directors Erin Belieu and Cate Marvin published on SheWrites.

We thank you for your patience and appreciate your support.
