Creator

Biographical / Historical

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) started in 1881. The purpose of the Association is to unite the alumnae of different institutions of higher education to advance the economic, political, and educational opportunities for women. The AAUW began with small groups of interested women. Gradually the number of small branches grew until it seemed wise to organize them into state and regional divisions. The Lafayette, Louisiana Branch was started in the mid-1920s.
