Womxn Illuminated
Increasing Visibility and Representation Every Day
"Why do you spell it like that?"
WOMXN
We use the term "womxn" instead of women or woman to include transgender womxn, focus on womxn of color, and remove men from the equation. This website is here to celebrate the accomplishments of womxn of color and fight for more representation at West Chester University and beyond.
