Our History
Founded more than 80 years ago, BPW/USA was the first women's organization to formally
endorse the Equal Right's Amendment in 1937, and we have led the drive for ratification ever
since. BPW/USA has been a leader in passing legislation of our time, from the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act, to Title IX and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. BPW/USA
knows the issues that concern workingwomen and brings those issues to policy makers in
Washington, in state capitols, and in city halls across the country. BPW/VA, like BPW/USA,
was founded in 1919 and has been a leader on the legislative front in Richmond and in every
county of the Commonwealth.
