Association for Women's Interests

The Association for Women's Interests (German: Verein für die Interessen der Frau; French: Association pour la Défense des Intérêts de la Femme) was a women's organization in Luxembourg, founded on 14 January 1906.

Saint-Hubert offered the patronage to Hereditary Grand Duchess Marie-Adelaide, but she declined, as a Roman Catholic feminist organisation was due to be set up;[2] the conservative Luxembourg Catholic Women's League (Luxemburger Katolische Frauenbund/Alliance des Femmes Luxembourgeoises) was founded in July 1906.

The Association did not wish to be associated with a specific political party such as the socialists, and the Catholic League did not fully support such a reform,[1] and ultimately, while Marguerite Mongenast-Servais and Marguerite Thomas-Clement spoke publicly in favor of the reform, there was no organized women's suffrage movement in Luxembourg.

It was given permission to found a state girls' secondary school as a trial project by the government in 1909.

Thus, in 1911, the organization achieved significant success when the first secondary state schools for girls were opened, in Limpertsberg and Esch-sur-Alzette.
