This document outlines the proceedings from the sixth conference of the Open Door International for the Economic Emancipation of the Woman Worker, held in Brussels in July 1948. The organization consisted of various national branches, including women from Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Norway, and Sweden, among other affiliated and associated groups worldwide. Included in the document is the president’s introductory address as well as abstracts of conference sessions and reports by national delegates from Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, Norway, and Sweden. had been on As the international committee President Anna Westergaard elaborates, the group had foregone meetings during the Second World War and met in 1948 to discuss the organization’s goals in light of the postwar creation of the United Nations and, specifically, to discuss the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Westergaard argues here that the Commission on the Status of Women posed a threat to longstanding feminist organizations because, by virtue of its title, it proposed a distinction between “women” and “human beings” and thus prescribed differential treatment to women because of their sex. Against this perspective, and in order to protect women’s equality in the workplace, delegates held panels on such topics as married women’s and mothers’ rights as workers, women’s right to equal salary for equal work, demographic policy and its impact on the workplace, and women’s paid labor outside the home versus unpaid (domestic) labor. The document concludes with a list of resolutions adopted by the organization.
