The 1919 International Congress of Working Women
The International Congress of Working Women (ICWW), formed in 1919, was an organization formed by female laborers around the world. The ICWW planned to share their concerns around female labor issues at the first Annual International Labor Organization Conference of 1919. The ICWW was successful in creating a document of provisions which was presented to the ILO, and affected decision making in the ILO’s Commission on the Employment of Women.
== Background ==
The world was facing the turn of a new age during the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the industrial age. Labor transformed from hand methods to a new manufacturing process. This new technology and machinery increased opportunities for employment in newly formed factories and mills. Individuals around the world experienced the increasing availability of jobs for all ages: men, women, and children.
With an increased amount of people simultaneously employed by large manufacturers, they all realized together that working conditions were poor. All laborers joined together to confront these issues of low wages and unlivable working conditions. Organized labor aimed to recognize similar interests in the working class of the population, especially for women. Women faced the challenge of attending to their work as homemakers, while also facing inequalities and horrible conditions in the workplace. 〔Eileen Boris, ''Home to Work: Motherhood and the Politics of Industrial Homework in the United States''(New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994) 10.〕 Women everywhere were viewed as the “weaker sex", and incapable of performing the work a man could. Women were most often the first to be fired while their domestic work limited them from learning new techniques in the workplace. The industrial revolution disputed traditional ways of life and caused women to find their own means of economic survival and to maintain the life of the family. 〔Carol Riegelman Lubin and Anne Winslow, ''Social Justice For Women: The International Labor Organization and Women'' (Durham and London: Duke University Press, 1990)15.〕 Women from the United States, England, France, and other European countries began to form organizations and fight for women's rights. Women attempted to create links across national frontiers. An International Council of Women was formed in 1888 to address temperance, higher education for women internationally, career opportunities, and a major emphasis on women's right to vote. Bonds were made and women's labor organizations were established across the world.
On the eve of World War I labor leagues had grown in France, Germany, Belgium, the United States, and many other nations. 〔Eileen Boris, ''Home To Work,'' 87.〕 At the end of the war, these unions sent representatives to international conferences to make their concerns heard and progress toward equality in the world of working women.
