What is Crone Club?
Ferocity. Freedom. Sisterhood.
Crone Club aims to make ageing and menopause a club that women don’t feel AFRAID to join.
We bring together women (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 800 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 lives!’
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 run 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.
Two years ago, we set up Crone Club Sheffield so women could meet in person on a regular basis and try out some ‘Training for Ageing’ activities - usually run by a fellow crone!

looking to connect with like-minded women of a certain rage?
Can you get to Sheffield a few times a year to have fun trying different stuff and connecting with like-minded crones and ‘crones-in-training?’
“I’ve joined because I’m done with disappearing, from mirrors, from history, from expectation. I want to keep lifting, learning and laughing with women who know what it means to hold it all: grief, beauty, defiance and humour.”

“It’s a great thing you are doing for women where their existence and identities are very often socially defined in limiting ways. Who are we when the work is over?”
Hannah Butler, Sheffield
“Thank you for the life-affirming content and the extraordinary community you have built!”
— Joanne, Sheffield
“I’m embracing 50 in a way I wouldn’t have with the crone inspiration! Fookin ace!”
— Ellie, Darwin, Australia
“It gave me hope that there is another way. That all the work I'm doing in my 30s to know myself and create a life that feels more aligned and joyous is worth it in the long run...”
