UU Women’s Heritage Society
“The Unitarian Universalist Women's Heritage Society was founded in 1988 (as the Women's History Publication Project) by one woman with a vision and a small group of supportive colleagues with funding from the Unitarian Universalist Association and private donations.
“The Society seeks to recover and preserve the stories of UU women's lives so that future
generations can be inspired by their wisdom and courage, celebrating the
valuable gifts we have received from our Universalist and Unitarian foremothers.”

UU History Courses (*UU Divinity Schools)
History 732F - Unitarian Universalist History: An Introduction.
Thursdays, 2:00 - 4:50 p.m. Fall 2008
Instructor: Mark W. Harris, Minister at the First Parish of Watertown, MA
Email: minister@fpwatertown.org OR themanse@comcast.net. Home Phone: 617-923-3922
Course Description The course will briefly explore the European origins of Unitarianism in Transylvania, Poland and England. Much of the course will focus on the gradual evolution of Unitarianism from its Puritan background to its centuries-long struggles with theological diversity and radical individualism in North America. Some time will also be spent on the indigenous origins of Universalism, especially the evangelical background found in the hill country of New England. Finally, we will explore how these two faiths came together in the 20th century, and continue to wrestle with social issues, congregational polity and religious pluralism.
