Title: The General Meeting of February 24, 1922. Description: Manuscript of a report presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR), at the general meeting of the organization held in Iassy, on February 24, 1922. The report contains a short account of the activities undertaken by the organization since its establishment in 1917, account that, when used together with the other accounts contained in the reports from other years, completes the puzzle of the organizational history of ACEPFR. Apart from its importance in reconstructing the organized efforts that this organization invested in demanding full civil and political rights for women, the document offers important information on Elena Meissner’s approach to defining feminism for the members of the organization she led. . Information on AECPFR’s efforts to connect with the international women’s movement through affiliation to the International Woman Suffrage Alliance is also provided.
