A BRIEF HISTORY

The Women's Alliance was formed in 1900 just months after the First Unitarian Church of Dallas was formally organized. We have played an important role in the history of this church and our larger community. In the early 30's, when the church fell upon hard times, the Alliance was instrumental in reviving the church. Much time has passed and much has changed. In 1970 the Woman's Alliance played a key role in the Roe V. Wade court case in filing an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in support of abortion rights. In 1978, as more women began working outside the home, the Evening Alliance was formed. Although the Day and Evening Alliances differ in some ways, both are committed to providing friendship, enlightenment, activities and support for the women of this church. All women are invited to visit and join either or both the Day Alliance and the Evening Alliance. We welcome you.
