What is Crone Club?
Ferocity. Freedom. Sisterhood.
Crone Club is a grassroots group of menopausal mischief makers on a mission to seek out and share the positives about menopause and getting older.
We bring together women of all ages (and our allies), to disrupt the toxic narrative and stereotypes of female ageing and menopause so we can all feel less afraid about getting older. Because let’s face it, life’s hard enough!
We started out as a Private Facebook group in 2022 - ten menopausal pals sharing positive content about kick-ass older women, and ‘considerately cheering each other on’. Our Facebook group has now grown to over 700 members from all over the world, taking on the algorithms to celebrate older women and the joy that can come in our ‘third act’, along with tips from older women who are ‘living their best crone life!’
In 2023 Justine launched an e-magazine on ‘Substack’ -‘Tits to the Wind!’ to share some of the themes and content from our Private Facebook group with the world, plus her irreverent musings on getting older. It’s our aim to pull together our learning from older women to create an alternative roadmap for female ageing to help younger women embrace their third act.
We also occasionally give birth to bat-shit crazy events such as our sell out menopause disco (with spoken word) ‘Cronelines’, the Crone Human Library™️, Crone Crowning Ceremonies and Crone Camp Retreats; and an online shop with gifts for the emergent feminist crone in your life.
Find out about how Crone Club came out and a short history of the word 'Crone'. Founder Justine Gaubert talking at Creative Mornings Sheffield.
