Advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education and research.
In February 2008, AAUW launched our own blog, AAUW Dialog, a forum for timely commentary and discussion on current news and events that relate to AAUW’s mission. AAUW Dialog (AAUW Discussion, Information, and Advocacy Log) is an open, online web log, or blog. It may be accessed from the AAUW website home page, www.aauw.org, or directly through blog-aauw.org, where you can read the blog postings and/or subscribe to receive them by e-mail. AAUW Dialog is a forum for our members and the public to examine issues, share ideas, join discussions, find resources, take action on equity issues, and explore how AAUW — at all levels — works to break through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
