Join Karen as she discusses the lie used to bar women from all Freemasonry, including those orders that will accept them on equal footing with men. Male-only scholars of Freemasonry have, by and large, used an outright lie to bar women from the Craft, saying that there were no women masons among the "operatives" of the medieval cathedral period and into the Enlightenment. Karen provides a brief list of operative women masons. She explores why it would not matter if there had been women among the operatives, that they have a place in modern Freemasonry because we've evolved to the point that their place is self-evident.
