How women’s business inspired a women’s professional network

In ancient times women were sent to the red tent for ‘women’s business’. Time in the tent would keep them away from men and away from daily life during their monthly cycle.

Although intended as a separation strategy, the red tent became a place of story telling, laughter and support. Younger women learned from their elders and the challenges and strengths of being a woman were valued and shared.

If you are a woman in business today, chances are you have sensed isolation. Women’s professional paths can be fraught. Pressure to fit in with traditional male culture. Stranded between career aspirations, personal needs and family demands. Feeling competitive with other women and wondering if you’re going to bang your head on that glass ceiling.

Welcome to The Red Tent Woman. It’s for you.

The Red Tent Woman was created by Ludwina Dautovic in response to women’s professional and personal needs. It is a women’s network. It is a community that embraces each unique story. It is a place to set goals and get real about achieving them. It offers a space to learn what you can, lean when you need to and share what you have. It’s laughter, hard work, conversation, trials, goals and rewards.
