South Australia

edit

The League grew out of the Women's Non-Party Political Association, which was founded in July 1909 at a meeting organised by Vida Goldstein of Victoria in Bricknell's Cafe, Rundle Street. Catherine Spence was elected the first president, with Mrs J. P. Morice and Dr Violet Plummer vice-presidents and A. Witham secretary. Monthly meetings were held at the May Club, first at the corner of Rundle Street and James Place, then from June 1911 at No. 3 Netter Buildings, Gresham street. In February 1917 the Association moved into its own rooms on the 3rd floor, Kither's Buildings, King William Street. In July 1917 the organization became the Women's Non-Party Association of South Australia.[22] In 1925 Blackwood and Henley branches (presidents Mrs Matheson and Mrs McKay respectively) were formed, and clubrooms moved from Kither's buildings to Harvard Chambers on North Terrace. In 1927 the Association, at the instigation of the Australian Federation of Women Voters, adopted the subtitle "League of Women Voters".[23] In 1932 a junior branch was formed. A few years later, the organization began running a kiosk at the Royal Show. In 1934 they moved to rooms in the Alexandra Chambers, 27 Grenfell Street, and in 1939 formally changed their name to the League of Women Voters with "Women's Non-Party Association" a sub-title.[24]
