CFUW
The national organization of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) was founded in 1919. It describes itself as a �voluntary, non-profit, self-funded bilingual organization of over 10,000 women university graduates�(whose) members are active in public affairs, working to raise the social, economic and legal status of women, as well as to improve education, the environment, peace, justice and human rights.� The St. John�s, Newfoundland Club was established in 1945.
In the 70s and 80s, in addition to its ongoing work to provide scholarships to women, the St. John�s Club was involved with a number of women�s issues including women in politics, wage equity for women, sexism in school texts, and equal representation of women on School Boards. It also worked on a number of joint projects with other women�s organizations in the province.
The St. John�s CFUW Club is still active in the province today and a Corner Brook Club was started in 2006.
