This document is comprised of the proceedings of the International Congress on the Rights of Women and Women’s Social Roles as well as an extensive annex, which includes articles discussed or cited in conference sessions. The annex, like the conference itself, was divided into three major themes of discussion: economic, moral, and social questions confronting women; women’s access to educational opportunities; and women’s status in law and legislation. After an introduction and transcription of the conference’s opening speech, presented by Maria Pognon, an elaboration of the first theme occurs during the second and third days of the event. Divided into morning and evening sessions, the conference featured more free-flowing dialogue amongst participants than it did formal presentations. On the fourth day, contributors discussed various aspects to providing women with equal educational opportunities and the day was finished with a speech by the French feminist Marguerite Durand on women’s status in law and civil codes. The conference’s fifth and last day included morning and evening discussions on women’s political rights and the possibility of enacting laws which protect women’s rights in particular.

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.

This extensive text includes both the transcribed proceedings of the meeting of the Tenth International Congress of Women in Paris as well as formal essays included by conference participants. The conference itself met over a period of several days, with themes and topics dispersed throughout various days’ sessions, but the formal presentations appear thematically in the tome. The first topic explored is women’s roles in public and private charities, with two essays focusing respectively on women’s participation in private charities internationally in the ten years preceding the meeting and recent improvements made to workers’ housing. The theme of hygiene comprises the conference’s second major theme, with two formal presentations on women’s roles combating alcoholism and tuberculosis. Third is the topic of education and essay topics here explore character education, how different countries have used education to respond to contemporary anxieties, and how to protect youth from moral corruption found in magazines, plays, images, and public events. The fourth major theme is law and legislation, and authors in this domain questioned the legal rights of women vis-à-vis their husbands as well as the civic capacity of married women in various national contexts. Questions concerning women’s right to work comprised the fifth major theme; protective labor laws for women’s work and a discussion of a minimum wage for women supplemented this topic. The sixth topic addressed by the Congress was women’s suffrage, including discussions on married women’s nationality and women’s moral influence as voters. The conference’s major themes conclude with examinations of female university students, possibilities open for women desiring careers, and the role of women in pacifism and in international conflict resolution. The text ends with a transcript of the conference’s closing sessions, as well as adopted resolutions and a helpful index outlining the contributions of all participants.

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.
