The Brisbane Women's Club is a club for women, one of the first in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[1]

History

The club was founded in 1908 as the Progressive Women's Club as an offshoot of the Queensland Women's Electoral League. Its aims were both political and philanthropic.[1][2] In 1912, it renamed itself the Brisbane Women's Club.[3]
