I would suggest finding a smaller organization, that you can help grow. There are some wonderful feminist speakers, who started their careers working with smaller organizations that they have helped build into nationally known groups.

As someone who started by working for a national women’s group, if I had it to do over I would start small with a smaller group, and work to build that organization (and my reputation) to a national level.

In addition to marketing as SecondLastWish suggested, most non profits have Development departments which with someone who writes and coordinates the grants. There are both writing and research aspects to this job. Many women’s or girl-serving non profit would look favorably on a Masters in Women’s Studies. These jobs are not that well paying at entry level, and don’t require a Masters.

If you are not sure what you want to do and aren’t independently wealthy, I would recommend working for at least a year, if not more, before persuing a Masters. It will help inform which direction to go in.

The fellowships are competitive, so you can’t count on getting one. But I do think it’s a good idea to learn more about other parts of the word, anyway, and to improve foreign-language skills. It’ll definitely improve your employability–give you more options when you’re applying for jobs. And working on it in conjunction with women’s studies should provide lots of interesting areas to study and hopefully make it easier to avoid some of the pitfalls of feminisms that pretty much focus on certain kinds of privileged women.

I felt similarly when I graduated from undergrad – I had a liberal fine arts degree that felt a little useless with my new social justice self. I went back for a Master’s in Public Health. The difference (referred to by the other posters) is that MPH is a terminal master’s degree. It’s intended for two years to be sent on developing professional skill sets – same with MSW, MPP, MBA. But MA in a general topic is a little mushy and won’t have as many applied skill sets taught in the program (to my knowledge).

Hope that helps, good luck.
