# Queensland Women's Electoral League

The Queensland Women's Electoral League (QWEL) 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.
