The world of coworking is undergoing a velvet revolution with the emergence since 2017 of new concepts designed by and for women: women-focused coworking spaces. After 6 months of field research across Europe, this book reveals the existence of a grassroots movement destined to mark the decade 2020. It is an invitation to plunge into the heart of the continent's most secret workspaces, to meet the pioneers who are fighting every day to shape a more inclusive future of work. What if sisterhood was the key?

In this hybrid work between market research and anthropology essay, author Ivanne Poussier attempts to map and shed light on this emerging phenomenon from various angles. She invites the reader to immerse in the heart of 30 coworking spaces created by and for women across 22 cities and 13 countries, to discover the new places and ways of working that respond to the specific challenges of entrepreneurship and freelancing for women. She leaves a large space for women's testimonies and convokes the words of experts and academics who have studied the issue of gender in the workplace. Finally, Ivanne opens the discussion on the challenges of inclusion in the future of work.
