The Catholic Women's League

Then and Now

May 1921

the St. Augustine's CWL

was issued

 a

Certificate of Organization

from the

Catholic Women's League of Canada.

The CWL of Canada

was formed in response to

the Government of Canada's Board of Women.

This board was created

after WWI

but

contained no Catholic Women.

There was a protest raised

and the government said

they would like to have Catholic women on the board,

give us names of women from a national Catholic women's organization.

No national Women's organization existed

so the Catholic Women's League of Canada was created.
