Brief History of WW
The first Women’s Worlds congress was held at Haifa University in December of 1981. It was the first world-wide interdisciplinary gathering to focus on research pertaining to women’s issues and to be open to all interested researchers and activists. Since then, WW has taken place every three years in a different part of the world.
