History
In 1976, when the Guild was born, there were three major "movements" in society: The Human Potential Movement; The New Age with the notion of transformation through spiritual practice; The Women's Movement. The Guild fused these movements under the umbrella of writing. Through writing, it said, you will access and activate your potential. Through writing, you will raise your consciousness and experience the transformation of your former self. Through writing you will find your voice and become an empowered and authentic woman/person.
In addition, the Guild's way became generic. Hence: Accessing human potential without becoming clinical. Accessing the spiritual without becoming institutional or a cult. Accessing the pro-Women's Movement without becoming politicized.
