This report provides a detailed overview of the themes and discussions of the International Congress on Women’s Rights, which was held in Paris in 1878 and included delegates from France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Russia, and the United States. After the opening session, the second session inquired into the history of feminist demands made in France and elsewhere and places women’s rights in the context of humankind’s march toward progress. The third session looks at education, particularly women’s eligibility to receive general and work-related training as a means of improving their social and political situations. Related, the fourth and fifth sessions discuss women’s labor, including women’s domestic labor and strategies to overcome prejudice and discrimination in the workplace. The sixth and seventh sessions looked at the uneven concept of morality, which is understood as a series of guiding social “laws” influencing how men and women are expected to behave separately. The final sessions of the conference investigated women’s position in relation to laws and legislation, including regulations on prostitution, from a largely French perspective.

The sociologist Clotilde Dissard offers a report and critical review of the 1896 International Feminist Congress, held in Paris. The author places conference discussion into six categories, including feminism, marriage and the family, women’s labor, prostitution, women’s rights to education, and women’s political rights. Writing from the French perspective, the author privileges the voices of French participants and then places their opinions and arguments in context with wider social and political beliefs on women’s rights. The author concludes that there were perhaps too many divergent opinions presented on the topic of feminism during the conference, making the conversation contradictory and “ridiculous” at times. A greater emphasis on women’s education, according to Dissard, would lead to a better perspective.

This article outlines fin-de-siècle French understandings of Muslim women in North Africa. The author, borrowing from select sources, depicts the lives of Muslim Algerian women as sad and repressed unless they receive substantial attention from the French colonizer. The French civilizing mission, for example, is touted as a liberatory force in Muslim women’s lives since a French education and French-taught homemaking skills were perceived to free women from the “slavery” of traditional Muslim marriage. Becoming French, according to the author, meant for Muslim Algerian women becoming free from the oppressive nature of Muslim patriarchy.

The author offers a critical view of the recent feminist congress held in Paris. She notes that there were few attendees from other countries, with no British or Americans present and typically single representatives from Germany, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Finland, and Sweden. She found that debate often strayed from the topic at hand and that the Congress was sectarian and anti-religious and dominated by Socialists.
