How many times have you found yourself not going to a great event because you didn’t have a friend to go with you? I found myself doing this time and time again, while at the same time finding that many spaces and groups for geeks and nerds were heavily dominated by men. I decided to solve both these problems by forming a meetup group  that provides opportunities for women to attend exciting local events and make new friends. The Nerdy Girls Society is designed to foster continuous learning for women of all ages who are interested in things typically described as “nerdy.” We’re enthusiastic about stuff ranging from science to history, comic cons to lectures, and everything in between.
