In 1994, the UUWF will publish "Rise Up and Call Her Name," a 13 session program exploring the multi-cultural roots of women's spirituality.
Social Action:
Affiliated with a number of women's advocacy organizations, the UUWF maintains an active presence in Washington, D.C.
Feminist Theology:
The UUWF pioneered an awareness of feminist theology and annually presents the Feminist Theology Awards, which support UU work in this area.
