Throughout history, the progress of events and people has been marked by
symbols.
The Emblem of BPW was adopted at the 1921 National Convention and
incorporates a variety of symbols to represent light, peace, communication,
achievement and progress - elements to which our Federation is dedicated.
- The Nike depicts strength,
progress, freedom and triumph, facing squarely the winds and waves of
prejudice and all other limitations.
- The Torch is the symbol of lights,
wisdom, principle and leadership.
- The Wand symbolizes a new day for
women and represents opportunity, equality, harmony, cooperation, healing
and power.
- The Ship of Commerce is a symbol of
the entrance of women into business and the expansion of opportunities for
women.
- The Scroll represents achievement
and leadership, a record of our accomplishments in solving economic problems
and establishing equality for working women.

Circle, signifying unbroken harmony and endless friendship.
