Gerwis and Gerwani: congress decides to change the name
De Waarheid, 12 May 1954, p. 5: short note that the recent congress of the Indonesian women's movement unanimously decided to change the name Gerwis to Gerwani, because 'Gerwis' (aware women) implied that only aware women could join, whereas every Indonesian woman should be able to become a member. Key evidence for the 1954 renaming.
De Waarheid, 12 Mei 1954, hlm. 5: catatan singkat bahwa kongres gerakan perempuan Indonesia baru-baru ini dengan suara bulat memutuskan mengganti nama Gerwis menjadi Gerwani, karena 'Gerwis' (perempuan sadar) berarti hanya perempuan sadar yang boleh menjadi anggota, padahal setiap perempuan Indonesia harus dapat menjadi anggota. Bukti penting pergantian nama 1954.
