About We the Female
We the Female is a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by Kerry Slone, an advocate for women’s self-defense and Second Amendment rights who is also known for her Stilettos and Shotguns social media work. The organization’s goal is to arm women with education, confidence and self-defense skills, and it frames personal security as part of women’s constitutional rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Slone has said publicly that she strongly supports the Second Amendment while recognizing that firearm ownership is a personal decision, and that women who choose to defend themselves should not face unnecessary barriers.
We the Female runs educational workshops, training events and outreach programs for women from varied backgrounds, working with ranges and instructors to create training opportunities. In August 2021, Slone announced an initiative to provide training and pay permit costs for up to 250 women in the Houston area, which she hoped would be the first of many such events nationwide. The organization later announced a national partnership with the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, under which We the Female teaches classes and works with ranges to set up training for women across the country. For women new to firearms, it offers a supportive, women-focused introduction to safe and lawful self-defense.
