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: Woman’s Right to All Work According to Aptitudes: Equal Pay for Equal Work. Description: Manuscript of an article written by Elena Meissner the leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) and based on a speech she delivered at the joint Constanța Congress of AECPFR and the Union of Roman Women (UFR) in 1936 (September 8th – 10th). The article was later published in AECPFR’s journal Ziarul Nostru (Our newspaper) in its September-October-November, 1936 issue. This is article is important for the ways in which the “equal pay for equal work” slogan and the ideology encapsulated in it was explained by Elena Meissner using the Romanian context and for a Romanian audience. The slogan and its principles have been adopted in Romanian feminist campaigns, especially during the long protest of the 1920s and 1930s in the question of women state clerks. Keywords: Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women, working rights, equal pay
