Historique
The United Church Women (U.C.W.) was formed in 1962, from an amalgamation of United Church Woman's Missionary Society (W.M.S.) and Woman's Association (W.A.) organizations, across the country. Existing Women's Federation (W.F.) groups were also incorporated into the UCW. Local and Presbytery-level groups developed along similar lines to national bodies, becoming local and presbyterial U.C.W. units in January 1962.
In October 2012, Saskatchewan’s U.C.W. Conference Coordinating Committee voted to disband and be replaced by the Women of the United Church of Canada Network. The mandate of the new network included communicating and supporting U.C.W. activities.

Fonctions et activités
The U.C.W. operated at congregational, Presbyterial and Conference levels, with membership open to any women in sympathy with the aims of the organization. These aims were broadly defined as the promotion of the mission of the Church. The organization enjoyed a special relationship with the Board of Women, which acted in the capacity of an intiating and defining body to the United Church Women. The U.C.W. were to make annual reports to the Board, and the Conference bodies were to carry out recommendations and policies as determined by the Board of Women. Following the dissolution of the Board of Women on the establishment of the Division of Mission in Canada, the U.C.W. became a more independent body.

Organisation interne/Généalogie
All levels of the U.C.W. had an Executive composed of the Past President, the President and Vice Presidents, and Secretaries of portfolios. The organization at each level was represented by members of other levels; for instance, the presbyterial United Church Women sent representatives to its Conference Branch. Each level sent representatives to the next superior level in the organization. After 1973 it was responsible for overall planning at its appropriate level, in consultation with the other levels. The annual meeting of the organization was to have representatives from the appropriate lower level, the Executive, and representatives of the successor bodies to presbyterial organizations which had ceased to exist.
Contexte général
The creation of the U.C.W. was part of the general reformation of the Church's structure which also saw the creation of the national Board of Women and the demise of the Woman's Missionary Society and of the Woman's Association. The Board of Women was made up of representatives of several United Church Boards but a significant part of its membership came from the United Church Women.
