Womyn's land is an intentional community organised by lesbian separatists to establish counter-cultural, women-centred space, without the presence of men.[1][2] These lands were the result of a social movement of the same name that developed in the 1970s in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and western Europe.[3] Many still exist today.[4] Womyn's land-based communities and residents are loosely networked through social media; print publications such as newsletters; Maize: A Lesbian Country Magazine;[5][6] Lesbian Natural Resources, a not-for-profit organisation that offers grants and resources; and regional and local gatherings.[7]

Womyn's lands practice various forms of lesbian separatism, an idea which emerged as a result of the radical feminist movement in the late 1960s.[8] Lesbian separatism is based on the idea that women must exist separately from men, socially and politically, in order to achieve the goals of feminism.[9] These separatist communities exist as a way for women to achieve female liberation by separating themselves from mainstream patriarchal society.[10] Men are not allowed to live in these communities, but a few lands allow men to visit.[4] Some communities ban male infants and/or male relatives.[4]

Womyn's lands have generated a wide range of criticisms, most of which centre around the lack of acceptance by many residents of bisexual and heterosexual women; the exclusion of transgender women; ideological conflicts with local communities that include violence and threats of violence targeting residents of womyn's lands;[11][12] and local community concerns about expanded lesbian visibility.[11][13] Examples of present-day womyn's lands include Hawk Hill Community Land Trust, HOWL, Susan B. Anthony Memorial Unrest Home (SuBAMUH) and Sugar Loaf Women's Village.[14] Today, these communities are facing decline as founders age, and they struggle to connect with younger generations of women.[4]
