The Unitarian Universalist Women's Heritage
Society was founded in 1988 (as the Women's History Publication
Project) by one woman with a vision and a small group of
supportive colleagues with funding from the Unitarian Universalist
Association and private donations. The Society seeks to recover
and preserve the stories of UU women's lives so that future
generations can be inspired by their wisdom and courage,
celebrating the valuable gifts we have received from our
Universalist and Unitarian foremothers.

The
mission of the Unitarian Universalist Women's Heritage Society
is to
reclaim,
communicate, and celebrate the lives and accomplishments of
Universalist and Unitarian women,
and
engage local congregations in the recovery of women’s
history,
so that
we may
draw courage and inspiration from our heritage,
and our foremothers may take their
rightful place in the ongoing story of Unitarian Universalism.

Why
should you join UUWHS?
For the pioneers, the Unitarian and Universalist women who came before, that we remember them and may be inspired by their example.
For the wise women living now, who are influencing us and helping to create a better world.
For our daughters and the women who paved a path for them to walk and for the future that is theirs to build.
For ourselves and our faith tradition, that we remember the past with gratitude and look to the future with hope. — Marilyn Holt, Previous Board Member
