The Association internationale des femmes (AIF; International Association of Women) was a short-lived feminist and pacifist organization based in Geneva that was active between 1868 and 1872. It demanded full equality between men and women. This was too radical for many feminists at the time. ==Foundation== The origins of the association may perhaps be traced to the 1854 proposal by the Swedish feminist Fredrika Bremer for a women-only organization dedicated to peace. The Swiss feminist Marie Goegg-Pouchoulin (1826–99) was active in the International Peace and Freedom League when it was founded in 1867, became a member of its central committee and edited the league's journal ''Les États-Unis d'Europe''. On 8 March 1868 the journal published Goegg's proposal to create an international association of women in connection with the league. This became the ''Association Internationale des Femmes'' (AIF). Foundation of the AIF and of Eugénie Niboyet's feminist and pacifist weekly ''La Paix des Deux Mondes'' mark the start of identification by women with peace work. According to the historian Sandi Cooper, Goegg was responding to the growing militarism of Prussia and aimed for, "the re-education of mothers to prevent another generation of boys trained to respect the false idols of national glory through military conquest. The AIF was the first transnational women's organization. It was concerned with women's suffrage and with secular education. The association demanded "equality in salary, in instruction, in the family, and in the law". An AIF membership card issued to Matilde Bajer of Copenhagen in December 1870 states that its goals were, "To work for the moral and intellectual advancement of woman, for the gradual amelioration of her position in society by calling for her human, civil, economic and political rights." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Association internationale des femmes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
