There have been two histories written about Women’s Electoral Lobby.
In 2004 Joan Bielski wrote The History, Organisation and Achievements of WEL NSW
A History of the Women’s Electoral Lobby has also been prepared at the Australian National University, Canberra, with the assistance of a 3 year grant from the Australian Research Council.
This site is a wealth of information, including many photos, of WEL, their activities, submissions, policies and other work.
As the ANU project says, WEL is the “women’s organisation most often referred to in parliament, the media and books on Australian politics. Many university theses have been written about it.”
For good reason.
