We’ve Been Waiting For You

Let The Joyful Revolution Begin

Getting Money Into The Hands Of Women

Together we are changing the world for women by turning the things we already do with our hands and our hearts into money, independence, and safety.

We do it with joy, we do it with love, and we do it together.

The Line In The Sand

It Is Time The World Changed For Women. So We Are Changing It.

Madame Monet is five social enterprises for women over fifty. A home. A wage. A table. Work. And a way to be paid for what you have done unpaid your whole life.

Nobody is coming to do this for us. So we are doing it ourselves, and we are going to enjoy every minute of it.

We Are The First Ones Who Can Do This

And we are going to do it with joy.

I Want To Be Part Of This

What We Are Changing

  1. A woman of sixty-two is paid, at last, for the baking she has done free for forty years.
  2. A woman who cannot make the rent moves into a house whose owner chose her on purpose.
  3. A woman told twice this year that she is too old walks into work on Monday and lifts the room.
  4. A family finds the steadiest person they have ever met, and she is the one who names her price.

Every Dollar Carries Her Name.

The Numbers, And The Women They Never Counted

Women Were Born To Light Up The World, Not Become A Statistic

The statistics start at fifty-five. We are already here.

Women Over Fifty-Five Are The Fastest-Growing Group Of Homeless People In Australia

That is the number everybody quotes, and it counts the women who have already lost the house.

It does not count the woman sleeping in her car and telling nobody. It does not count the woman on her daughter’s sofa. And it does not count the tens of thousands of women who are still in the relationship tonight, because there is nowhere else to be.

Every one of them is a woman who appears in no figure at all.

These Aren’t Just Figures.They Are Women’s Lives.

Madame

You are a Madame here.

Your customer pays you, and you keep it. Ten dollars a month where a fee applies. Esmeralda and LOIS are free on a woman’s side, always.

The Rallying

Every One Of Us In One Room, And The Room Is Loud

The five are how a woman earns, houses herself and gets back to work. Madame Monet is where she comes to be among the others — and it has never cost anything to gather, and it never will.

  1. The Five Are OpenBake, mentor, steady a household, take a room or offer one, walk back into work. All five are live and a woman can start this week.
  2. We Bring Them Into One RoomEvents across all five, so a Nan meets an Aunt meets a MIMA meets an Esmeralda meets a LOIS. That is the part nobody else is doing.

A world scared of a woman’s POWER was also afraid of a man’s TENDERNESS, so they took both.
