UUWF is a continental membership organization that advances equity
and justice for women through education and advocacy. It is an independent
non-profit, 501 (c) (3) corporation and one of only three associate member organizations
of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Inheritor of a proud tradition, UUWF was formed in 1963 through consolidation
of the Association of Universalist Women (founded in 1869 and believed to be
the first organization of lay church women in the United
States) and the Alliance
of Unitarian Women (1890). |
