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.

Title: The Congress of the Assoc[iation] f[or] the C[ivil] and P[olitical] E[mancipation] of R[omanian] W[omen]. 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.

While discussing an appeal sent by the organized Romanian women from Transylvania in which women’s rights were demanded only for women with a certain education and to be granted gradually, Elena Meissner, the leader of AECPFR dismissed the limited and gradualist approach to women’s rights. This document testifies for the integralist approach to women’s rights embraced by AECPFR at that time.

Author: The Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women. Title: The Report of the “Bucharest” Section on the Period between 1932 and 1933. Description: Manuscript of a report on the activity deployed by the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) between 1932 and 1933. The document details on the various activities undertaken for improving the legal status of women. Thus, in 1932, AECPFR organized a large public meeting in Bucharest and sent a delegation to the king, prime-minister, various other ministers and politicians presenting a motion protesting the delay in according married women equal civil rights. The protest of Romanian women’s organization at last bore fruit and in that year the minister of justice presented to the Parliament a law project regarding the equality in civil rights of married women from the whole territory of Romania. At the same time, Margareta Paximade Ghelmegeanu, AECPFR member, became the first woman and feminist co-opted as member of the parliamentary commission for the reformation of the Civil Code. The law was finally issued on April 19, 1932. It abrogated the restrictions of previous stipulations of the Civil Code and responded to previous feminist suggestions by stating that the woman had the right to exercise any profession without the consent of her husband (he could just complain to the court if this affected him in any way). The married woman had the right to sell, and buy, and to undertake commercial transactions without the consent of her husband. Finally she had the right of property over the dowry since the previous restrictions were abolished.
