Bangor and North Wales Association of University Women

In the aftermath of World War 1, several women graduates of Britain and the United States had the idea of an international federation of university women with the aim of doing what they could to prevent such an event happening again. At the first international conference held in London in 1920, eight national federations were represented, some of which had been formed since the end of the nineteenth century. Encouraged by the existence of the international group, many other national federations of university women were founded and subsequently became affiliated to the International Federation

The British Federation of University Women was founded in 1907 to promote the education and interests of women graduates worldwide. Today it promotes opportunities for women and girls in education and public life as part of an international organisation to safeguard the human rights of women and to encourage local, national and international friendship.
