AAUW’s spirit is as passionate and timely today as it was in 1881, when a small group of female college graduates banded together to open the doors for women’s career advancement and to encourage more women to pursue higher education. Today, we seek to advance equity for all through research, education, and advocacy.
We are:
- A leading voice in the nation to advance equity and education for women and girls.
- A community dedicated to breaking through educational barriers so that all women and girls have a fair chance.
- United as a national, state, and local organization with over 170,000 supporters and members nationwide.
- Women making a difference, both individually and collectively.
