The Spokane Shrinking Violets are a group of dynamic young women in the greater Spokane area who decided to create a “social co-op”. All participants are striving towards greater health, happiness and awareness in their lives and contribute to the group in ways they find socially and personally fulfilling. This can mean hosting gatherings, sharing talents, and volunteering to assist with group coordination. Through these interactions we hope to create new outlets for self-expression, and build an authentic response to the many challenges we see around us.
The Shrinking Violets are growing quickly. We espouse no particular ideology, and there are no requirements for membership other than participation and mutual respect. Our goal is to form an informal yet powerful social network made up of friends and friends yet to be.
The Spokane Shrinking Violet Society website is the official online forum of the Shrinking Violet Society. While blog authors are all Shrinking Violets, the general public is welcome and encouraged to comment.
The Shrinking Violets want to explore, discover, celebrate, and nurture all that the Inland Northwest has to offer. We want to become active tellers of our own stories, stewards of our environment, and productive members of our larger community.

I want to be apart of this society. Do you hold meetings ever?
We do! We have our Ladies who Lunch and many different groups you can be involved in! Check us out on facebook or you can send you some information to your email!
Is there an age limit? I had heard that the group is just for young women. What about forty somethings? Thanks, Lisa
Hi Lisa,
All we ask is that you are young of heart! We have people of all ages in our group! <3
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to come to a crafting circle – I was part of a regular Stitch & Bitch in Berkeley and miss it desperately. Is there some way to be notified of such things?
Thanks!
Jaeden
Hi Jaeden! Yes, please check us out on facebook and if you ‘like or friend’ us, you will receive invitations and notifications about upcoming events. Stitch and Bitch sounds awesome! We are actually always looking for people to start new groups, so if you are interested….
You ladies rock! I have a friend that is a member of your society. She was raving about your upcoming prom event so I checked out your sight. Awesome! Incredible that you gals come together and support each other in so many ways. Have a fun prom. FAS

Is this group still active? I sure hope so! I know a few ladies who are eager to get active with other laadies in our community!
We are still active! Our website was down for a couple of months, but we are pretty active on facebook. We have a Group page as well as a Fan page and we post monthly Events on there. We’re planning on keeping this website up-to-date now that we’re back, but please email shrinkingvioletsociet[at]gmail[dot]com if you have any more questions.
