Historical Note

The Utah Women's History Association was founded in 1977. The association's focus was Utah women, Utah history generally, and the entire field of women's history with an interdisciplinary approach. The association sponsored symposiums and programs to reflect this diversity. The group disbanded in 1989, but continued work on the book Women in Utah History: Paradigm or Paradox?, which was published in 1995.
