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.

TITLE: Statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina. DESCRIPTION: This article discusses a statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), created during the general assembly of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) from Novi Sad in February 1902, and signed by Arkadije Varađanin, secretary, and Julka Radovanović, principal. The text was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The editor of Ženski svetwas Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. The article reports that the alliance is established in the form of cooperative and the statute has 30 clauses. The clauses define the goals of the alliance with regard to the realms of charitable, educational and economic work. The goals include: to establish new Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women; to collect money in case of floods or fire “in our country or outside of it”; to assist the “Red Cross” society in case of war in the “fatherland” or “other areas where Serbian people live”; to build shelters for orphans and old people; to establish schools for children where they would be trained to be good, hardworking and develop proper morals; to help prepare good and honest domestic tutors and teachers for better-off Serbian households; to establish schools for women’s handicraft and places where these products would be sold; to teach the members to be frugal in order to have a good and progressive household. The alliance has a common budget. The direction of the alliance is set in Novi Sad. The official language of the alliance is Serbian, and the Cyrillic the official alphabet. For the report on the first meeting of representatives of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women, published in Ženski svet in June 1902, see “Prva skupština Saveza Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja [The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women],” Ženski svet, January 6, 1902.
