Queensland Women's Electoral League

The Queensland Women's Electoral League was an organisation founded in 1903 in Brisbane to advance the cause of women's suffrage in Queensland, Australia.

History

Its founder and first president was Christina Jane Corrie (then the Lady Mayoress of Brisbane, her husband Leslie Corrie being mayor). Margaret Ogg was a prominent and long-time member of the organisation.

In 1908, the League created the Brisbane Women's Club, one of Brisbane's first clubs for women.
