History

Since 1881, the American Association of University Women has worked for equity for girls and women though advocacy, research, and education. In that year, Marion Talbot called a meeting of 17 women with a unique purpose: to support one another and future generations of women in higher education.

The Arkansas Division of the AAUW first met in 1923, with delegates from Fayetteville as well as Little Rock and Hot Springs.
