Description: This is a detailed report of the 1923 meeting of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in Rome, written by French delegate Alice la Mazière. The document begins with an introduction to the question of feminism and women's rights in Italy, which Alliance president Carrie Chapman Catt critiques as "inferior" to women's status in other Western nations. Major meeting sessions included "The Civil and Political Status of Women," and "Enfranchised Women," in which the status of German and Czechoslovakian women was explored. Annie Furuhjelm of Finland presided over a discussion on creating exclusively feminist political parties in enfranchised nations and Carrie Chapman Catt spoke on the question of women's liberation before passing the presidency on to Mrs. Corbett Ashby, a prominent British feminist.
