Founded March 17, 1915 | Second Oldest Branch in North Carolina
The Asheville Branch of the American Association of University Women traces its history from 1915 when sixteen mountain female college graduates organized what would locally become AAUW Asheville. Its work in Asheville has been ongoing and influential in the community, nation, and world, assisting women through such related projects as refugee relief and improvement of public schools. Its history is replete with names of local women who made significant inroads for women and girls.
