Women-only space

A women only space is a space set-up for women only. The term is generally used in radical, activist, lesbian and feminist settings. The notion of a women only space is to provide a place where women do not have to worry about men.

Because the point of the space is to provide a "men free" environment, there is discussion in feminist and lesbian circles about whether male to female transsexuals should be allowed into such spaces.
