The American Association of University Women (AAUW) unites the graduates of regionally accredited institutions of higher education in order to promote education and equity for all women and girls. The Arlington Branch was founded in November 1943 with 20 members, and received official recognition in 1944. With more than two hundred members, the Branch contributes to the Educational Foundation and Legal Advocacy Fund, promotes study and action in community and cultural interests, education and international relations, and cooperates in the Associations' Virginia State and South Atlantic regional work. This record group documents the changing emphasis for more than fifty years on issues such as the environment, integration in education and employment, and especially equity for girls and women in education and in all aspects of life.
