advocate for women who had to depend on their own exertions for a livelihood." The goal was to provide lectures and cottage meetings about political and civic topics so that as voters they would influence men holding office and to be ready to serve in
Parliament when the law changed to allow them to stand for office. Temperance was a part of this instruction as well. Lady Stout explained: "The Society was not one for the suppression of mankind; it only desired that women should have equal rights with men, and not be debarred from living the fullest and freest life they might be qualified to live. Home would be happier when wives were competent to advise their husbands in every department, and were able to share their aspirations as well as their cares and sorrows." Lilly May Kirk continued her leadership in this club even as she was rising in the ranks of the national WCTU. In May 1898 she reported to the Southern Cross Society on how she voted on their behalf when she represented the club at the

Another important issue for this group was to raise the legal age of consent. They petitioned the prime minister in 1913 for the age of consent for boys to be raised to eighteen so "to be protected from the solicitations of older women... and preventive for the spread of diseases" and, as Atkinson emphasised during this deputation visit, the age of twenty-one for girls since that was when they could control their own wages and property.

For four months we have been called upon to witness the utter incapacity of Ministers to conduct the public business of the country, and their disregard for its interests, their gross abuse of their privilege in slandering individuals, and their utter inability to control their own following. One would gladly draw the veil over it, and try to forget it, were it not for the enormous cost it has been, and that too in a time of depression, when the wisest and most prudent legislation was what the country needed."
596:. In 1913, Atkinson presided at two conferences organised by Victoria College on how to create a new department "Domestic Economy" and to fund a department chair to oversee this new curriculum and outreach. The goal was to professionalise and modernise the instruction, offer access to funded housing through the newly created Thomas George Macarthy Fund, and to expand embedded practical training already in place at training colleges.

By then, the role of the league emphasised the fear of Japanese aggression in the Pacific and the need for men and women to be educated in civic morality and survival preparedness in specially designated camp institutes. "The influence of good women on soldiers away from home was incalculable." This call fit in very well with Atkinson's experience with educational reform for women's domestic sciences.
