Other Worldly Women are humans who identify as nonbinary or female. We aim to let those who have marginalized voices be heard throughout the galaxies. You DO NOT have to be born female gendered to be published. The term Other Worldly Women was developed by, Evelyn (founder, editor, educator), during a difficult period in her life after miscarriages and failed fertility treatments. During a class at a local Reform Synagogue, she found trans folx have similar feelings and experiences of not being able to have children. Their challenges are far more difficult than Evelyn’s (assigned female gender). Their voices like that of women are under published and often go unheard. Because of that their stories and lives are not respected like white cis-gender men who rule the publishing industry. The term that came to mind was feminine divine which is strongly linked to the moon. We as a community who identify as nonbinary and female are much more than a moon orbiting. We are galaxies creating new life.
