I might be wrong but if I remember rightly you (in the US) don't have the women-only variety you have only the Co-Masonic or mixed gender Lodges, either Le Droit Humain or the American Federation of Human Rights.
It might interest you to know that Co-Masonry shares the same roots of origin as...

However, I suspect you may not have read the last line that I posted where I just...
