Louisa Lawson is famous for her feminist journal Dawn: a Journal for Australian Women. This journal aimed to help women fight for more rights and was widely read. After joining the Womanhood Suffrage League in 1891 she established her own campaign for female suffrage, calling it the Dawn Club. In this, Louisa held regular meetings for women to discuss matters relating to everyday life. She presented arguments through her editorials in Dawn for more employment opportunities for women as well as the importance of voting for women.

Louisa Lawson's journalistic and political efforts greatly helped in making the vote for women a precondition for federation in Australia.
