'In a historic move, this year's Glastonbury Festival will feature a venue open only to women.
Named The Sisterhood, the spot will be hidden in the site's renowned Shangri-La area and is billed as an "intersectional, queer, trans and disability-inclusive space open to all people who identify as women".
Described as a "revolutionary clubhouse," the venue's staff, performers, and security will all be women.

"The producers of The Sisterhood believe that women-only spaces are necessary in a world that is still run by and designed to benefit mainly men," the venue's organisers said. "Oppression against women continues in various manifestations around the world today, in different cultural contexts.'
