The Iron Lilies is a network of women. Empowered Women Empower Women.
Independent Ladies. We are not a club.
Most people think a group is all about “fitting in” but were the ones who always "fitted out": the misfits of the crowd. We are the ones who lived unapologetically, went against the grain, refused to conform, laughed in the face of adversity and always took the road less traveled. We feel we, like many souls, were born to stand out.
That's why this group started. This sisterhood was founded to welcome people like us: those who don't fit in anywhere else. It is the vagabonds and hopeless romantics, the outcasts, the outrageous and terminally weird who bring about progress and change. The lone wolves. We aim to embrace each other's weirdnesses and differences, manic fixations and obsessions, and more importantly, passions. For it is all those beautifully wild and wacky things that make each of us unique. And we want to stay unique.
Social groups are formed as a way to communicate. We do that on our bikes. The Lilies became a way to connect, a way to feel out of place with a group of likeminded people. This is not an MC, just a network to bring us together.
The Iron Lilies is on a mission to empower women on two wheels. We are here to connect womxn riders around the world and support them in the motorcycling community.
"CAN A GIRL RIDE A MOTORCYCLE AND STILL RETAIN EVERY CHARACTERISTIC THAT IS EXPECTED OF OUR BEST YOUNG WOMANHOOD? I CERTAINLY BELIEVE SO, AND MY OBSERVATIONS COVER SEVERAL YEARS... AS FAR AS THE GIRL RIDER IS CONCERNED, MOTORCYCLING IS JUST WHAT SHE MAKES IT - AND IT'S SO EASY TO MAKE IT SIMPLY A PLEASANT, REFRESHING, AND ECONOMICAL PASTIME THAT I CONSTANTLY WONDER WHY MORE GIRLS DO NOT AVAIL THEMSELVES TO IT."
