Consejo Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Women's Council of Uruguay (Consejo Nacional de Mujeres del Uruguay, CONAMU) was a women's organization in Uruguay, founded in 1916.[1]

It was founded by the leading suffragist Paulina Luisi in 1916 along with other feminists such as Francisca Beretervide and Isabel Pinto de Vidal.[2][3] It played an important role in the struggle for women's suffrage, which was finally introduced in Uruguay in 1932, but this was not the only issue promoted by the organisation.
