International Women’s Congress, 1914


The first International Women’s Congress, held in Paris in 1878,
was a step towards creating a transnational women's movement.
Although activists sought to improve the condition of women
internationally, they remained committed to pragmatic reform
within their own respective political systems. This photograph
was taken at a meeting of German activists during the
International Women’s Congress in Berlin in 1914.

It shows (clockwise, from left): Hedwig Heyl, Alice Salomon,
Anna Pappritz, Dona Martin, ? Hanning, Annette
Hamminck-Schepel, Helene Lange, and Gertrud Bäumer
