Let $G$ be Abelian. Then any subgroup of $G$ is normal. Does the converse hold?

I need a little help with the following problem of abstract algebra:

Let $G$ an Abelian group. Clearly, any subgroup of $G$ is normal. Is the opposite true, that is if every subgroup of $G$ is normal, then $G$ is Abelian?

The converse is not true. Think of the quaternion group of order $8$, $Q=\{\pm 1,\pm i,\pm j,\pm k\}$. Can you see why this gives a counterexample?
