Discwoman is a New York based collective, booking agency, and event platform representing and showcasing cis women, trans women and genderqueer folks in the electronic music community. It was founded in 2014 by Frankie Hutchinson, Emma Burgess-Olson (DJ Umfang), and Christine Tran. Discwoman's regular club nights and touring events highlight emerging and established artists from around the world.

In a 2015 report by female:pressure it is stated that men comprised 82% of 44 international festivals’ lineups. Discwoman is part of a growing movement to help counter the underrepresentation of female-identified artists and people of color throughout the music industry, regarding clubs and festival's line-ups, labels, booking agencies and press. This feminist uprising in electronic music includes other collectives and DJs like Siren, Sister, Resis'Dance, Apeiron Crew, Born N Bread, The Black Madonna and Juliana Huxtable.

Since its inaugural event at Brooklyn’s Bossa Nova Civic Club, Discwoman has presented showcases in Boston, Detroit's Movement Festival, Mexico City, Montreal, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh's VIA Festival, San Juan, Seattle's Decibel Festival, and Toronto.
