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. Keywords: Feminism, politics, women’s emancipation, suffrage, education, international, Association

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.
