Mixed gender Freemasonry

A nice book about women in Freemasonry before there were mixed lodges is Karen Kidd’s “Haunted Chambers: the lives of early women Freemasons“.
Kidd also wrote a book about “A History of The Honorable Order of American Co-Masonry“, the largest mixed gender order in the USA.

Freemasonry in general

There are many, many books about Freemasonry, many of them as ancient as the Order itself. A more recent title is one of Angel Millar.
