International Congress of Women

The officers of the U.S. National and International Council of Women at the congress held in Berlin, Germany in June, 1904. In the front row, the women seated at the tables (left to right), are Helene Lange, Ishbel Aberdeen, Susan B. Anthony, May Wright Sewall, Camille Vidart, and Teresa F. Wilson.

The International Congress of Women was created so that groups of existing women's suffrage movements could come together with other women's groups around the world. It served as a way for women organizations across the nation to establish formal means of communication and to provide more opportunities for women to ask the big questions relating to feminism at the time. The congress has been utilized by a number of feminist and pacifist events since 1878. A few groups that participated in the early conferences were The International Council of Women, The International Alliance of Women and The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.[1]
