Title: The General Meeting of the Association for the Year 1936. Description: Manuscript of report of the activity of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) for the year 1936, presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the organization, at the AECPFR Congress from March 29, 1937. The document is important in that it gives a better idea on the structure of the organization after almost 20 years of activity. Also, it does testify once again the integralist approach of these feminists towards the achievement of full civil and political rights for women although the hostile political environment did not bear the promise of the achievement of these rights any sooner. The report contains also information on the issues discussed at the meetings of the organization – the document provides short accounts of the main speeches held at the meetings of the organization. Keywords: Feminism, politics, women’s emancipation, political rights, civil rights, structure, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women

DESCRIPTION: In this handwritten letter from Semarang, Aletta Jacobs writes to Rosika Schwimmer. Jacobs, who was traveling with Carrie Chapman Catt, tells Schwimmer that she had been too busy to write sooner and seems to be responding to a letter from Schwimmer. Jacbos reports attending several suffrage meetings in Java and Sumatra and create ten new branches of “our society,” or the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA). Jacobs mentions the language barrier in that Catt only spoke in a few places because “the people…did not understand the English language.” Jacobs assures Schwimmer that Jacobs and Catt are not fighting, that a disagreement is not the cause for the change in travel plans. Instead, Jacobs needs to return to Holland for the national alliance presidential election. Her Dutch colleagues are worried she will not win reelection is she is not there in person. Jacobs lists the remaining travel plans, including two stops in Hong Kong, where she wishes to create a new branch of the alliance and to find delegates to attend the congress in Budapest. She plans to travel via railway through Russia before arriving home in November. Jacobs reports that she and Catt are both in perfect health, and Jacobs, again, reassures Schwimmer that she is not quarrelling with Catt. Jacobs congratulates Schwimmer on her work for the congress, and Jacobs hopes to attend in June. She sends best wishes for the congress preparations along with “many kisses of friendship.” KEYWORDS: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Carrie Chapman Catt; Aletta Jacobs; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Seventh Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA, Budapest, 15-21 June 1913; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Dutch East India (Indonesia); Java; Semarang; Róza Schwimmer (Rosika Schwimmer); Janka Grossmann; Szidónia Willhelm

TITLE: Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein Wien to Božena Viková-Kunětická, June 14, 1912. DESCRIPTION: The Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women’s Association] founded in 1893, was an influential association of German speaking Austrian women’s activists. Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) was a Czech speaking writer and nationalist politician. In 1912, she was elected a deputy to the Bohemian Provincial Diet, the first elected woman deputy in the Habsburg Monarchy. The curial electoral system to the Diet, in use since 1861, was based on tax and property qualifications and thus excluded a major part of the citizens on the basis of class. At the same time the regulations pertaining to the Bohemian Diet used gender neutral terms – some women thus were not deprived from the right to vote to the Diet, some were not explicitly excluded from the passive electoral right. The representatives of the General Austrian Women’s Association Adele Gerber (1863-1937) and Leopoldine Kulka (1872-1920) congratulate Viková-Kunětická to her victory and describe her election as an important step for the women’s movement as a whole.
