"Country Women's Association of Western Australia"@en . . . "The Country Women's Association of Western Australia (CWA of WA) is a woman's club in Western Australia. The first meeting was held in Perth in early 1924, and their first four branches were established the same year. Mabel Craven-Griffith was elected the first president at their first conference in 1925. It was part of the Country Women's Association (CWA). The Association's purpose was \"to improve the welfare and conditions of life of people everywhere, especially those living in the country, to foster friendship andunderstanding and to encourage co-operation and community effort\". Their first priority was to establish rest rooms; located in the CWA of WA branches, these spaces provided a place for rural women and their children to rest and eat when they were in the town. In 1934 the CWA of WA began publishing their newsletter The Countrywoman of Western Australia, which became a monthly publication in 1940. Of note was the CWA of WA's participation in the war effort during World War II, establishing a war relief fund and participating in the Australian Women's Land Army. Membership reached its peak in the mid 1950s with 12,000 members in about 250 branches. In 2001 the CWA of WA left the national Country Women's Association, but remains active."@en . . . .

"De Country Women's Association of Western Australia (CWA of WA) is een West-Australische vrouwenorganisatie. De organisatie is financieel onafhankelijk, onpartijdig en niet-sektarisch. In de praktijk is de organisatie eerder conservatief al is ze historisch gezien steeds een progressieve kracht gebleken doordat ze plattelandsvrouwen aanzette tot interesse in openbare aangelegenheden en lobbyde voor plattelandsvoorzieningen."@nl . .
