Welcome from Dr. Amy Aldridge,
AAUW Tennessee 2024-25 President

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” ~ 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

It is an honor to serve as AAUW state president in Tennessee – a state so important in women’s history because we provided the last needed vote to ratify the 19th amendment in 1920. Suffragists throughout the U.S. had fought for that right formally since 1848, with one generation dying and passing on the baton to the next. May we always carry on in the spirit of fighting for equality across generations.

Welcome to AAUW Tennessee! We’re so glad you found us! Please take a look at the website and feel free to reach out to me with any questions or requests.
