Women Who Get It was founded by two friends Sahilee and Katariina, who met in Istanbul, Turkey while both travelling and studying internationally in their 20s. From the day we met, we instantly connected over topics ranging from how to evolve as women and to push ourselves to our fullest potential, all while enjoying the journey of life along the way.

Reading quickly became a way we connected deeper within our friendship and we haven’t stopped reading since. While both of us are living in different parts of the world, New York and Madrid, we realized how much reading has facilitated growth within us and how fond we are of knowledge-sharing with one another. This is where the idea started to build connections and community amongst women through reading.

Women Who Get It is a literary club with a focus on putting knowledge to work. Where we not only read but also implement what we’ve learned into working practice. We believe reading should not be viewed as a task, but as a way to evolve. This is done through blog posts on books that address how to realistically accomplish change within our lives, social channels that inspire us to live as the best version of ourselves, as well as through online and in-person book club gatherings to foster community among women.
