AAUW California Projects

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 when San Francisco branch was established in 1884. By 1921, with thirteen active branches in the state, branch leaders saw a need for a statewide organization.  The constitution for AAUW California was approved in October 1921.

AAUW California is the state's most active and diverse organization for women with nearly 10,000 members in more than 100 branches.
