The British Federation of University Women (BFUW) was founded in 1907, to "afford a means of communication and of united action in matters affecting the interest of women".[1] In 1992 it was renamed the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG).[2] The current organisation "seeks to promote opportunities for women in education, and public life more generally" and provides "graduate women living in England, Scotland and Wales with information, support and friendship, at local, regional, national and international levels. Conferences, meetings, networks and social events, at all levels, are open to all members." The BFWG is affiliated to the International Federation of University Women (IFUW), of which it was a founder member, and University Women of Europe (UWE). [3]
