The Feminist Narratives Program uplifts feminist voices and experiences across backgrounds and disciplines, at Stanford and beyond. After decades of planning and implementing the Herstory Month and with feedback from the community about creating more inclusive and gender expansive programming, the directors at the time, Faith Kazmi and Marta Hanson, decided to sunset the program. The month of programming for Herstory, which celebrated Women’s History Month, was replaced with a year-long Feminist Narratives program. This program area was intended to highlight various narratives all year long in formats chosen by student coordinators to ensure that the content was student driven, relevant, and inclusive. 

The first coordinators of this program, in 2016-17 academic year were Mysia Anderson and Nya Hughes who created the first podcast series: Feminist Voices. They successfully published five espisodes and hosted a live recording of The following year, 2017-18, the new coordinators, Lillian Bornstein and Taylor Crutison continued the podcast and also created a feminist zine for the WCC which has evolved and continued to be a vibrant offering of the space.

 The program has continued to evolve every year to reflect new students visions for the narratives they'd like to capture through the WCC.​
