The American Association of University Women is a national organization that promotes equity for all women and girls, lifelong education, and positive social change. The AAUW offers scholarships, action for gender equity, and support for personal and professional growth, community leadership, and friendship.

History
AAUW began in 1881, when Marion Talbot called together a meeting of women graduates. Seventeen attended, representing a unique gathering: the first generation of alumnae. The purpose, too, was unique: to support each other and the next generations of women in higher education. In 1882 the Association of Collegiate Alumnae was formally established, merging in 1921 with the Southern Association of College Women to create the American Association of University Women.
