The Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) is a network of women leaders who, through their careers and/or personal endeavors, are dedicated to spreading the ideas of individual liberty and free markets. Participation in the Ladies of Liberty Alliance is open to any female who identifies with or wishes to explore libertarian ideas.
LOLA participation is free and self-defined.[1]
In 2009, a group of women concerned about the shortage of female leaders started a group to address this and called themselves the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA). For the next three years, LOLA volunteers worked to build a network of libertarian women. Volunteers spoke at events, conducted outreach, and built a support network.
In 2011, the demand for LOLA from women around the country drove the decision to officially establish Ladies of Liberty Alliance as a full-time, non-profit educational organization under the direction of Nena Whitfield.
LOLA Social Chapters are ladies only social groups located in cities throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Prior to 2017, the Ladies of Liberty Alliance existed solely in three countries including the United States, Israel, and Northern Ireland. LOLA experienced significant growth in 2018 when they expanded to South America, Africa, and South Asia.[2]
Currently, LOLA social chapters are active in 14 countries across the globe:
