Title: The Congress of the Romanian Women’s Association in Brasov, November 12.13.14, 1938. The Speech of Mrs. Alexandrina Gr. Cantacuzino on the Topic ‘Women and the New Romanian Constitution.’ Description: Speech held by Alexandrina Gr. Cantacuzino, leader of the Romanian Women’s Association in Brasov, November 12.13.14, 1938. At that time, certain categories of women obtained partial political rights, and the inclusion in the new constitution of this restrictive and incomplete version of women’s political rights was received with great joy and celebrated with fast. In this speech, Cantacuzino’s argumentation was directed towards increasing women’s public role (she decries the elaboration of a social work law without the consultation of women’s organizations) and the recognition of women’s legitimacy to weight upon the transformation of political and state life from their positions as mothers. Also, in this speech Cantacuzino’s “internationalist” image is rather paradoxical if we take into the account the context in which the speech was delivered. In that period, the Romanian Women’s Association under Cantacuzino’s leadership became very adamant in promoting and demanding ethnic discriminatory measures using eugenic and economic arguments. In these conditions, it is difficult to understand how in this period Cantacuzino could play both the roles of “internationalist” seeking connections with minority women and fervent “nationalist” committed to exclusionary politics at the same time. This unless one does not take into account the fact that for Cantacuzino this “internationalism” was first of all another way of bringing a contribution to the building of the Romanian nation-state. Keywords: Alexandrina Cantacuzino, political rights, Romanian Women’s Association, minority rights, social work

Title: Words for Introducing the New Law for Administrative Centralization to Romanian Women. Description: Manuscript of a speech delivered by Elena Meissner, important Romanian feminist, leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women, at a meeting of the organization held probably in the city of Timișoara in September 1925. The speech contains information on the legislative context in which, also due to feminist efforts, women were granted partial political rights at the local level through an administrative law in 1925. Thus, according to art. 10 of the new administrative law from June 1925, the municipal councils of the towns which were district centers had to compulsory include women councilors, while the other municipal councils had the option to do so. The leader urges women’s organizations to prepare women for the new roles and inform them on the legislative aspects of this change. Keywords: Elena Meissner, feminism, politics, political rights, local, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women

TITLE: Should Women Participate in the Election? Ruperto G. Viray Says ‘Yes.’ DESCRIPTION: This opinion column was part of several essays written under a magazine feature article asking on women’s participation in elections. The author declared at the outset that the Philippines would prosper if there were fair and equal distribution of power. U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was quoted as defining fairness and equality as hinged on a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The people of the Philippines, who were currently learning of governance were not only composed of men but also of women. True equality did not favor anyone. The author asserted that since women also paid taxes as men did, then women should be granted the right to participate in deliberations on how to make use of said taxes. If women and men shared the same societal burdens, then why were women not accorded the same rights as men? The author contended that Filipino women should be emancipated, encouraging the collective demand from senators and congressional representatives to grant women the right to political participation. If this simple and basic recognition of women’s rights could be fulfilled, then the author believed that a Filipino nation would be created that was fair, free, equal, peaceful, prosperous and most of all, a nation that was respectable. KEYWORDS: fairness, equality, rights, taxes, women’s political participation, election

Title: Why I Didn’t Candidate? Description: Manuscript of a draft of an article written by Elena Meissner in 1930, containing the official explanation of her refuse to candidate for the local elections of 1929 when a category of women could, for the first time, exercise local political rights. Meissner argued that the political rights should not be seen as a scope but as a means towards the accomplishment of women’s emancipation and that women should further fight for the achievement of full political rights. She showed her doubts towards the type of political education that women could acquire through enrolment in the political parties and argued that only the feminist associations, which were not supporting party politics, could give a comprehensive and non-partisan training for women in political issues, and, could offer a better view of the diversity of political problems existing in Romania at the time. Keywords: Feminism, politics, political rights, elections, political party, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women

This portion of Lucia Ames Mead’s diary, beginning May 10, covered the 1919 WILPF Congress in Zurich. Mead described the proceedings of the Congress in detail, including speeches, motions for resolutions, and topics of discussion from delegates and observers from many nations. Mead called Jane Addams’s leadership, “patient, fair, shrewd, and kind.” Mead gave opening remarks on the Covenant of the League of Nations. The group issued the Book on the Congress to peaceful people and governments. Over the course of the Congress, Mead wrote of discussions on topics including the League of Nations, disarmament, the rights of asylum, capital punishment, socialism, trafficking in women, blockades, trade, propaganda, the rights of prisoners, education, taxation, the Red Cross, and the malnutrition of children. The group was not in total agreement that capitalism was the cause of the war, but most seemed to identify as socialists. Some argued that the League was robbing and strangling Germany. They feared the creation of Alsace-Lorraine-like areas all over Europe. Addams hoped that once the bitterness died down, a better League of Nations could be developed. Lillian Wald thought that all countries should be more concerned about child welfare, malaria, and venereal disease. Ethel Snowden criticized the Paris peace treaty because it did not work for peace, but for war, which was not what the soldiers were fighting for. Mead wrote of their society’s “birthday” and new name [Women’s International league for Peace and Freedom]. The Congress received a telegram from President Wilson and he said their message appealed to both his head and heart. After the Congress ended, Mead described a banquet with several speakers, including Jane Addams. On May 18, she traveled to Berne, then Geneva, and back to Paris, to the Hotel Petrograd. Names mentioned by Mead in the diary include: Chrystal MacMillan, Emily Greene Balch, Jeanette Rankin, Florence Kelley, Alice Thatcher Post, Lillian Wald, Madeleine Doty, Aletta Jacobs, Dr. Wilson, Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, Mrs. Ashton (Lord Bryce’s sister-in-law), Rosa Kulka, Lida Gustava Heymann, Catherine Marshall, Ethel Snowden, Fran Perlen, Mademoiselle La Fontaine, and Anita Augspurg.

Title: Speech given by Princess Alexandrina Canatcuzino at the banquet that the International Council of Women organized in Geneva for the women delegates and experts at the League of Nations. Description: Speech, in French, held by Alexandrina Cantacuzino at the banquet that the International Council of Women organized in Geneva for the women delegates and experts at the League of Nations, in the period 1925 - 1930. The speech proves the support provided by Romanian representatives of the Romanian women’s movement, especially Alexandrina Cantacuzino, to the pacifist programs of ICW and IAW and their involvement with activities supporting the principles and program of pacification of the world promoted by the League of Nations. It does also give an account of the maternalist approach to the legitimacy of women’s involvement with public international affairs, approach that also legitimized women’s rights to full political suffrage and equal rights. Keywords: Internationalism, League of Nations, pacifism, women’s activism, ICW, maternalism
