In 1970, many women who had submitted paper proposals to the national conference of the Canadian Psychological Association were not included, and this resulted in their establishing their own venue, "On Women, By Women" (Anglais Pour Psychologues, Dunod 2011, p.32).
Since then the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) opened a special division on women: SWAP (Section of Women & Psychology, begun 1976). There is also a Psychology of Women Section in the British Psychological Association (BPA). The American Psychological Association (APA) opened its first Task Force on the Status of Women in Psychology in 1972.
