As One! For Equality, For Happiness, For Peace: World Congress of Women, Copenhagen 1953
Report volume (WIDF, Berlin, 1953) on the World Congress of Women, Copenhagen, 5-10 June 1953: reports, speeches, documents, resolutions and the officers elected. Gerwani and Gerwis are not named. Indonesia appears in the congress report (p. 4), which says its 10 delegates and observers came from six organisations, one a plantation workers' union with over 400,000 women members, and in the delegate list (Suwarti, Suharti, Asijah). Useful as background to Indonesian women's ties with WIDF.
