Congrès international de la condition & des droits des femmes tenu les 5, 6, 7, et 8 septembre 1900 à l'Exposition universelle au palais de l'economie sociale et des congrès. Questions économiques, morales et sociales, éducation, législation

This document is comprised of the proceedings of the International Congress on the Rights of Women and Women's Social Roles as well as an extensive annex, which includes articles discussed or cited in conference sessions. The annex, like the conference itself, was divided into three major themes of discussion: economic, moral, and social questions confronting women; women's access to educational opportunities; and women's status in law and legislation. After an introduction and transcription of the conference's opening speech, presented by Maria Pognon, an elaboration of the first theme occurs during the second and third days of the event. Divided into morning and evening sessions, the conference featured more free-flowing dialogue amongst participants than it did formal presentations. On the fourth day, contributors discussed various aspects to providing women with equal educational opportunities and the day was finished with a speech by the French feminist Marguerite Durand on women's status in law and civil codes. The conference's fifth and last day included morning and evening discussions on women's political rights and the possibility of enacting laws which protect women's rights in particular.
