In 2016, Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan came together to create a co-working space with an unusual mission. Inspired by the women's clubs that flourished in early 20th century New York, they imagined a space that would cater exclusively to women. Thus was born The Wing, an organization that is part co-working space, part social club, and all female. Their first location, in NYC's Flatiron District, launched that year, and they recently opened a new, and much larger, location in SoHo. At a time when the media—and all of us—are consumed with instances of harassment in the workplace, the Wing, and the community it's creating in the wake of the #MeToo moment, is more important than ever.
