  The United Associations of Women (U.A.) was formed in Sydney, in 1929. Among its objectives were equality of status, opportunity and liberties for men and women. It was extremely active throughout the 1930s and 40s, and played a major role in organising the Australian Women's Charter Conference in 1943.
