Summary

Established in 1922 to co-ordinate social, intellectual and fund-raising activities, the Victorian Women Graduates' Association was formed as a forum through which University women could express their views and aimed to promote women's independent research. By 1928, membership of the Association had reached 300. An Endowment Fund was established to assist women students, and the Association held several conferences.

The Victorian Women Graduates' Association was affiliated with the Australian and International Federations of University Women.
