Freemasonry is one of the oldest and most widespread voluntary organizations in the world. Over the course of three centuries men (and women) have organized themselves socially and voluntarily under its name. With a strong sense of liberation, moral enlightenment, cosmopolitan openness and forward-looking philanthropy, freemasonry has attracted some of the sharpest minds in history and has created a strong platform for nascent civil societies across the globe. With the secrecy of internally communicated knowledge, the clandestine character of organization, and the enactment of rituals and the elaborate use of symbols, freemasonry has also opened up feelings of distrust, as well as allegations of secretiveness and conspiracy. This Very Short Introduction introduces the inner activities of freemasonry, and the rituals, symbols and practices. Looking at the development of the organizational structure of masonry from the local to the global level, Andreas Onnerfors considers perceptions of freemasonry from the outside world, and navigates through the prevalent fictions and conspiracy theories. He also discusses how freemasonry has from its outset struggled with issues of exclusion based upon gender, race and religion, despite promoting tolerant openness and inclusion. Finally Onnerfors shines a light on the rarely discussed but highly compelling history of female agency in Masonic and Para-Masonic orders.

Huge amount of fabric at skirt, very unflattering
Size: X-Small, Color: Black Eyelet
This is a high quality and well-made dress, especially at the price point, but it is also one of the most unflattering things I have ever put on my body. I'm 5'7", size 2-4, 36B and bought the XS. The top was fine, but the skirt was GIANT. There is so much fabric, and it is a heavier weight so it doesn't really fall. On the bottom I looked like a size 10-12. There are also pockets to add to the bulk - unpopular opinion, but I can't stand pockets in dresses especially when they are made of heavier fabrics like this and add even more volume at the hips. The black eyelet 100% cotton fabric is nice but there is just way too much of it. I had ordered the brown gingham too but canceled the order after trying this one on.

Size down
Size: Small, Color: White Eyelet
Cute dress, runs large. I’m usually a true medium but sized down to a small based on other reviews and it fits perfectly.
