It was founded by Cornelia Emilian, Eugenia de Reuss Ianculescu and Sofia Nădejde.
Its origin lay in the local women's organisation Reuniunea Femeilor Romane in Iași.
Its purpose was to work for women's elevation from legal incompetence and minority to a level of political, economic and educational elevation in society, and refuted the idea that men and women where to have different roles in society.
It published Buletinul Ligii femeilor ('The Bulletin of the Women's League').
It was followed by the suffrage organisation Asoiatat Drepturile Femeii in 1911 (renamed Liga Drepturile si Datoriile Femeii (League for Women's Rights and Duties) in 1913–1938).
