Administrative / biographical background:

The AAM was founded in 1884 to promote the interests of women teachers in secondary schools in the United Kingdom. British women teaching in similar schools overseas subsequently became eligible for membership. In 1921 the AAM ceased to function in Scotland. From 1917 onwards the AAM acted in co-operation with the Assistant Masters' Association, the Association of Head Mistresses and the Head Masters' Association through the Joint Committee of the Four Secondary Associations, more com commonly known as the Joint Four. From 1921 all four associations had their head offices in the same building.

 

In 1978 the AAM amalgamated with the Assistant Masters' Association to form AMMA, the Assistant Masters and Mistresses Association.
