Founded in 2005, the Women’s Mafia is New York’s premiere women-run Social Club. The Women’s Mafia is founded on the idea that a large group of women getting together is, in and of itself, a powerful thing. Women’s Mafia members get their stilettos in the door. The mission of the Women’s Mafia is to support emerging and up-and-coming designers, artists, small businesses, products and causes we believe in, while hosting remarkably unique and special events for our members. Through our online magazine www.womensmafia.com we cover top tier fashion, lifestyle, art and beauty stories for our readers in New York and around the world.

The Women’s Mafia is made up of talented, creative women, and select specially-invited men, from all industries and backgrounds. Our events and happenings are about much more than just networking. We make things happen and have a very good time in the process.

To request our support of your cause or brand, or our presence at your venue or store please email “La Madrina” at marcy@womensmafia.com.
