Australian Women's National League

The Australian Women's National League (AWNL) was an Australian political lobby group federation first established in 1904. It acted in many ways like a political party, with an extensive branch network and the capability to run its own candidates. It was a conservative organisation with four key declared objectives:

• Loyalty to the Throne;
• To counteract Socialist tendencies;
• To educate the Women of Victoria to realise their political responsibilities; and
• To Safeguard the Interests of the Home, Women and Children.
