Liga das Mulheres Republicanas

The Liga das Mulheres Republicanas (English: Republican Women's League) was a Portuguese feminist organisation founded in 1909 by Ana de Castro Osório and Adelaide Cabete.

It split in 1912 after the refusal of the government to pass a law enabling women to vote.

Cabete subsequently started the Conselho Nacional das Mulheres Portuguesas.
