The official organ of the WSG was the magazine, "Dawn", through which Rischbieth (editor) and the guilds promoted causes such as the representation of women in the judiciary, parliament and in the welfare system. The last issue of the "Dawn" newsletter was to contain the obituary of its long term editor. The organisation's scope also included the prostitutes and prisoners of the nation. Their long-running campaign to allow the admission of single women to a new hospital (KEMH) was met with staunch opposition from the establishment and media of the day. The Kindergarten system in the state was founded by the organisation, as was the local Girl Guides Association and a home for elderly women, the Mount Henry Hospital. The Civil Rehabilitation Council of Western Australia, the Prisoners Aid Society, the Society for the Preservation of Nature were also auspiced by the WSG. They were not limited to the newly entitled voters and advocated on behalf of the rights of children and women of the indigenous population of the nation. This was, along with activism for the conservation of Natural heritage, well in advance of international organisations of the 1960s or Australian social movements of the 1980s and 90s.
