Founded in 1881, AAUW is the nation’s leading advocate for educational equity for women and girls. There are more than 100,000 members in the United States, with over 1,300 branches and 500 college and university partners nationwide, dedicated to tearing down barriers to equality and creating opportunities to help women and girls reach their full potential. Visit AAUW’s online museum for a virtual tour of our history.

AAUW was founded on the conviction that education is key to achieving equity for women. Our first study in 1885 helped open colleges and universities to women by refuting the once-popular notion that higher education threatens women’s health. Today, more than a century later, we’re still fighting to remove obstacles that hold women back.
