29
In the aftermath of World War I, U.S. labor women sought to join with other working women around the world to formulate international labor rights and standards. At the urging of French and British labor women, the American Women’s Trade Union League issued a call for an International Congress of Working Women to be held in Washington, D.C. in 1919. This essay analyzes the gender and labor policies proposed by the 1919 Congress and the organization it spawned, the International Federation of Working Women, the difficulties labor women encountered in forging a progressive internationalist politics, and the historical and scholarly significance of this experiment in international labor feminism.
