Title: The Report of Mrs. President Alexandrina Cantacuzino on the Activity of National Council of Romanian Women During the Year 1934-1935, December 14, 1935. Description: Manuscript of Alexandrina Cantacuzino’s report as president of the National Council of Romanian Women for the period 1934 – 1935. The report details on the president’s internationalist work in behalf of child protection, the organization’s relations with and president’s view of ICW and IAW, the advancement of Romanian women’s civil rights, the inauguration of Woman’s House (institution for the social assistance of women and children). It does also provide information on the structure, organization and leading members of the National Council of Romanian Women at that time. The report concludes: “As you can see, Ladies and Gentlemen, there is an acute need for discipline in women’s actions so women will not give [the opportunity for] other demonstrations [of incompetence and disunity] and strengthen men’s arguments to push them out of political life. It is certain that at present in the world there is an increasing anti-feminist movement whose roots are in the mistakes women made in the last years but also in the men’s politics of violence which tend to reject women’s competition and value [while] women become increasingly equal with men.” Keywords: National Council of Romanian Women, report, civil rights, political rights, internationalism, nationalism, social work, structure
