Since its first meeting in 1881, AAUW has been a catalyst
for change. Today, with more than 100,000 members, 1,000
branches, and 500 college and university partners, AAUW contributes
to a more promising future and provides a powerful voice for
women
and
girlsa
voice that cannot and will not be ignored.
We are proud to offer this new online museum, a virtual clearinghouse
of AAUW history. In these pages, you will get a glimpse into
AAUW's rich tradition of leadership, scholarship, advocacy,
and action—all of which have made us what we are today.
This museum contains 127 years of AAUW artifacts and memorabilia
and the stories behind them, and we are delighted to
be able to share it all with you.
In addition to Our Historya comprehensive, all-inclusive
look at AAUW's accomplishments since 1881—three other "wings" of
this museum focus on specific aspects of AAUW history: Advocacy & Action,
Research & Publications, and Scholarship & Support.
Two other collectionsthe Buildings Gallery and the Portrait Galleryhighlight the faces and places we've seen and supported along the way.
And finally, the ultimate illustration of AAUW's efforts toward
equity in education: our entire collection of AAUW Outlook magazine covers that track the exact course AAUW has followed
in its
ongoing quest for equity.
