16.01.2022 CWA Early Beginnings The tyranny of distance: it’s a concept Queensland woman have always understood. In the 1920’s, places we now deem remote were often truly ...isolated. Against this backdrop, the QCWA began to emerge providing a window of relief from the loneliness, offering friendship, support and connection. Ruth Beatrice Fairfax set about building a collegiate, focussed and resilient organisation when she was appointed founding President in 1922. Ruth’s personal commitment and travel throughout the state lead to the creation of 283 Branches with 13,000 members by 1928. While Branch meetings would be a forum for exchanging ideas, and recipes, it is perhaps the tea and scones served at Brisbane’s EKKA that would help embellish this iconic association. First appearing at the EKKA in 1924, the period preceded one of immense national angst. In the latter decades, much of QCWA’s work focused on assisting drought affected and flood affected women and their families. Members worked tirelessly on the ground, raising millions of dollars for direct practical assistance, such as providing grocery store vouchers and credit with essential suppliers, or paying household bills. No cash payments were made. By helping in this way, not only is the recipient assisted, the money stays in the local community extending the benefit. Motivated by knowledge sharing, as the interests of members expanded, several topic-based state committees emerged to run competitions in cooking, craft, art, photography and public speaking. The deep connection and sense of belonging, the friendships and the working together for common good, clearly resonated with women then, as it does now. Distances are still great but the linkages through QCWA are strong. .. .. #royalicingcookies #qcwa #cwa #countrywomensassociation #countrywomensassociationqld #barcaldineqld #ruthfairfax
