The journal advocated for women's right to vote and equal rights, in order to better defend the interests of mothers and families.^[2] The UNVF advocated for "the defense of women's family and professional interests",^[1] and was influenced by social Catholicism, as well as being in the orbit of several right-wing parties, including Action Libérale, chaired by the Duchess' husband, Duke Jean François Marie de La Rochefoucauld.^[2]
