This text outlines the proceedings of the International Feminist Congress held in Brussels, in the summer of 1897. The international group focused on five major themes: women’s civic rights; the nature of patriarchy; women’s economic rights; the status of the feminist movement; and women and public charity. In the discussion on women’s civic rights, a number of speakers addressed concerns brought forth by a new German civic code with attention also given to English and Russian women’s civic status. The second session, which investigated men’s social and biological roles, questioned the degree to which male privilege is socially constructed. In the discussion of women’s economic rights, many speakers linked the idea of economic independence with the goals of feminism––itself a topic elaborated upon in the Congress’s fourth session. The fifth and final session looked at women’s participation in charitable organizations, and hypothesized on how to make women’s public work in this arena more socially palatable.

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
