AAUW is an organization that, since its beginnings, has been founded on the principles of gender equity and education. Its mission has changed somewhat over the years, but remains dedicated to the needs and aspirations of its members, and of women everywhere. I am particularly acquainted with the Legal Advocacy Fund, which defends the rights of women to equal treatment under the law inside and outside education settings. Their political stance is nonpartisan, but activist in the best sense of that word.
