State Leadership

The American Association of University Women (AAUW), founded in 1881, is the nation’s leading organization advocating equity for women and girls. Its national membership of 170,000 members and supporters seeks to advance equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy. People of every race, creed, age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, and level of physical ability are invited to join.

The young organization’s presence in California began with the establishment of the San Francisco branch in 1884. By 1921, with thirteen active branches in the state, branch leaders recognized a need for a statewide organization. The constitution for AAUW California was approved in October 1921.
