Striving for Equity Since 1881
Over the past 140+ years, AAUW has evolved to become the leading voice in advancing gender equity in education and workplaces everywhere. Through research, education and advocacy, we’re committed to ensuring everyone gets the same opportunity to learn, earn and lead.
Founded in 1881 by women who defied society’s conventions by earning college degrees, AAUW has since worked to increase women’s access, opportunity, and equity in higher education through research, advocacy, and philanthropy of over $140 million, supporting thousands of women scholars.

AAUW (American Association of University Women) is the nation’s leading organization for equity in higher education and women’s economic empowerment.
