The Wing, a network of co-working and community spaces for women, was invented in 2016 with the mission of creating "space for women to advance their pursuits and build community together." Since that time, the explosion of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have only crystalized the need for more supportive spaces for women to work, organize, and connect—and founders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan have been moving quickly to build out new locations, rustling up a whopping $32 million in Series B funding, led by WeWork, at the end of 2017 (for a total investment of more than $42 million). Now, Monday marks the opening of the third outpost for The Wing, this time in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn.
