Abstract / Summary
This document provides an overview of the French Association of University Women, a national affiliate of the International Federation of University Women. The French branch (as well as the English and American branches) of the organization were founded after the First World War in an effort to promote “moral and intellectual reconstruction” and professional exchange among women. The French and American branches of the organization historically maintained an especially strong relationship with one another, particularly with the establishment of Reid Hall in Paris which became an academic center for American women in the 1920s. Although the Second World War disrupted the activities of the French branch, it nevertheless continued its commitment to offering national and international scholarships to prospective students; in the context of war, to refugee women from Poland and Czechoslovakia.
