VERY SHORT HISTORY OF
ALLIANCE
The
Littleton Branch of the Women’s Alliance (more commonly
called
The Alliance) has a rich history here at FCU extending back to the
1800s.
We
are proud to be a branch of the Unitarian Universalist
Women’s
Federation (UUWF) that was established in 1963. UUWF is the
consolidation of the Alliance of Unitarian Women and the Association
of Universalist Women which was organized in 1869 and believed to be
the OLDEST organization of church women in the
United States.
Note the word “oldest” modifies the word
“organization”
and not the word “women”. The
organization advances
justice for women through education and advocacy.
Littleton
Branch of the Women’s Alliance Programs for 2007-2008
