Soon after their first reunion in 1992, Jacqueline Ceballos joined with Dorothy Senerchia and Mary Jean Tully to create the organization.

Its newly created Center for Women's History will be the venue to showcase the artifacts and stories that document modern feminism.

VFA's major effort is the Pioneer Histories Project, which compiles interviews with hundreds of feminist activists.

On February 4, 2021, VFA held a Zoom webinar honoring National Organization for Women (NOW) founder Betty Friedan on the 100th anniversary of her birth.

Videotapes of these receptions are archived at the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute and the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture at Duke University.
