A year later, in September 1996, 157 women became the founding sisters of NAPAWF at a gathering in Los Angeles. • Educational Access • Ending Violence Against Women • Health • Immigrant and Refugee Rights The organization's historical records are kept as part of the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College in Massachusetts since 2008. == References ==
