The Oxford International Women’s Festival was founded in 1989 by Dr Katherine Bradley.

The focus has always been to make the Festival as international as possible, since Oxford is an international City. It has also been equally important to include as many women’s groups and individuals from the City and both universities. This is to ensure that the Festival is as diverse and inclusive as possible.

2014 saw the 25th Anniversary of the Oxford International Womens Festival, and as part of the celebrations we created an archive of events from past festivals, for people to enjoy again.
