Title: The General Meeting of February 24, 1922. Description: Manuscript of a report presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR), at the general meeting of the organization held in Iassy, on February 24, 1922. The report contains a short account of the activities undertaken by the organization since its establishment in 1917, account that, when used together with the other accounts contained in the reports from other years, completes the puzzle of the organizational history of ACEPFR. Apart from its importance in reconstructing the organized efforts that this organization invested in demanding full civil and political rights for women, the document offers important information on Elena Meissner’s approach to defining feminism for the members of the organization she led. . Information on AECPFR’s efforts to connect with the international women’s movement through affiliation to the International Woman Suffrage Alliance is also provided.

Title: The General Meeting of the Association for the Year 1936. Description: Manuscript of report of the activity of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) for the year 1936, presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the organization, at the AECPFR Congress from March 29, 1937. The document is important in that it gives a better idea on the structure of the organization after almost 20 years of activity. Also, it does testify once again the integralist approach of these feminists towards the achievement of full civil and political rights for women although the hostile political environment did not bear the promise of the achievement of these rights any sooner. The report contains also information on the issues discussed at the meetings of the organization – the document provides short accounts of the main speeches held at the meetings of the organization.

Title: The General Meeting of October 15, 1919. Yearly report. Description: Manuscript of an yearly report presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR), at the general meeting of the organization held in Iassy, on October 15, 1919. From the report, we can gather information on the activity and structure of the feminist organization founded in 1917. The moment and circumstances of AECPFR’s establishment as well as the participants to this event is recalled in this report. Although presented as a yearly report, the document refers to the most important feminist activities undertaken by the organization since its establishment. The attempt to connect to the international women’s movement in 1918 is also mentioned in the document - a telegram was sent to London (to the International Council of Women) to announce the creation of AECPFR and a member was delegated to represent them “in the association existing in Paris”, to send information on women’s organizations active in France and facilitate connections with international women’s organizations.

Title: Appeal. Description: Manuscript of an appeal of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) to Romanian politicians, from 1920 when the new constitution was under discussion. In the appeal, AECPFR brought arguments in support of women’s entitlement to full civil and political rights and pointed to the legal injustice of overlooking these rights while women possessed the same qualifications that entitled men at the universal male suffrage. The arguments in behalf of granting women political and civil rights were very diverse and meant to convince politicians to offer their support in including them in the new constitution.

Extracts from the Report of May 21st , 1932 [written] on the Occasion of the Meeting of the Delegates of the Local Branches of the Assoc[iation] f[or] the C[ivil] and P[olitical] E[mancipation] of R[omanian] W[omen] for the Modification of Statutes. Description: Manuscript of extracts of a report on the discussions held at a meeting in Iași on the modification of the statutes of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) on May 21st, 1932. The document gives an indication on the degree to which the conflict over women’s enrollment in political parties divided not only the Romanian women’s movement but also the members of feminist organizations such as AECPFR. In the 1930s, when women obtained the right to vote and be elected in municipal councils, the composition and organization of AECPFR was threatened more than ever by intra-organizational conflicts on the issue of women’s involvement with politics. These conflicts were fueled by the contradiction between the politically non-partisan position embraced by Elena Meissner and other important members of AECPFR and the decision of other members of AECPFR to join political parties. The decision of the women belonging to the latter group resulted sometimes in their withdrawal from the organization or in the estrangement of members who did not share their political beliefs. Moreover, because of these conflicts, other women became much more reluctant to become involved with an association undertaking an open campaign for women’s political rights and which was now, more than before, under the critical and often ironic public scrutiny for aiming to involve women in politics.

Description: Manuscript of a motion presented by the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) to the prime-minister Coandă, in November 1918. A decree-law on the modification of the electoral reform from November 1918 introduced the universal male suffrage and disregarded women’s political rights in the new nation-state. This is when AECPFR asked the support of the prime-minister for the inclusion of full political and civil rights for women in the new constitution that, at the time, was under discussion. The arguments in behalf of granting women political and civil rights were various - widespread prejudices about women’s biological inferiority were passionately dismantled while women’s contribution to building Greater Romania and the injustice of overlooking the rights of half of the nation in a state based on democratic principles were emphasized. Moreover, women’s civil and political rights were presented as a mark of civilizational and democratic progress not to be ignored by the new Romanian state.
