Anthony Memorial Unrest Home (SuBAMUH) and Sugar Loaf Women's Village. Examples of present-day womyn's lands include Hawk Hill Community Land Trust, HOWL, Susan B. Womyn's lands have generated a wide range of criticisms, most of which centre around the lack of acceptance by many residents of bisexual and heterosexual women the exclusion of transgender women ideological conflicts with local communities that include violence and threats of violence targeting residents of womyn's lands and local community concerns about expanded lesbian visibility. Some communities ban male infants and/or male relatives. Men are not allowed to live in these communities, but a few lands allow men to visit. These separatist communities exist as a way for women to achieve female liberation by separating themselves from mainstream patriarchal society.

Lesbian separatism is based on the idea that women must exist separately from men, socially and politically, in order to achieve the goals of feminism. Womyn's lands practice various forms of lesbian separatism, an idea which emerged as a result of the radical feminist movement in the late 1960s. Womyn's land-based communities and residents are loosely networked through social media print publications such as newsletters Maize: A Lesbian Country Magazine Lesbian Natural Resources, a not-for-profit organisation that offers grants and resources and regional and local gatherings. These lands were the result of a social movement of the same name that developed in the 1970s in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and western Europe. Womyn's land is an intentional community organised by lesbian separatists to establish counter-cultural, women-centred space, without the presence of men.
