What is a Raft of Bitches?
For centuries women have been told that we’re each other’s worst enemies – but in our experience women are more like otters than queen bees. Female otters – bitches, if you will – join hands with each other to create rafts that stop them from drifting apart and losing each other while they are asleep.
Just like a literal raft of bitches, our experience has been that thriving women often have a tight-knit circle of other women who helped them get there by providing information and support along the way.
Meet the Raft
Our raft is made up of three women — Jo, Kate and Ricki — best friends who share a passion for cats and equality.
