The Federated Association of Australian Housewives was formed in 1923 to control the cost of living and reduce 'profiteering'. It held its first national conference in 1926. In the 1940s it was the largest women's group in Australia. Accusations of collaboration with a margerine company led to expulsions and a successful court case for defamation.
