The CCWH is a space for network and community building for women historians of diverse backgrounds, interests, and professions.
about the ccwh
more on our history
Founded in 1969 as the Coordinating Committee on Women in the Historical Profession and expanded in 1974 with the formation of the Conference Group on Women’s History, CCWH combines the functions of both groups.
foundation and expansion
The Coordinating Council for Women in History connects women historians throughout the world from all career stages, supporting students and emerging scholars through prizes, mentoring programs, and workshops.
Our members share their skills and insights with one another through our webinar series that have included topics such as publishing, podcasts and media, and public history along with featured guest lectures and affiliated panels at the American Historical Association.
We provide platforms and avenues for women historians to highlight their work and disseminate announcements for job and grant opportunities and events through our website, newsletter, and social media.
We care and stand for women historians, constantly seeking to listen and ensure their growth and success. Our CCWH community stems from the determination and commitments of time, resources, and services of women historians who come together, and we hope that you will join us in this heart work.

Moreover, in line with its mission of supporting women and gender history, the CCWH openly denounces any laws that defame or otherwise stigmatize individuals or groups of people because of their gender expression, sexuality, ability, race, skin color, religion, marital status, age, or country of origin.
It is a place where women historians of all backgrounds can find a wide variety of resources, support, and a community to help them thrive. In light of the 2017 executive orders by the President of the United States, the CCWH thus expresses its concern for the effect on women in the historical profession.
