The Open Door Council - Call for an International Conference, 1929

London: The Open Door Council, 1929. A call by this London-based feminist organization for a conference in Berlin, June 15-16, 1929, for the purpose of forming an international organization to further the following objective: “To secure that a woman shall be free to work and protected as a worker on the same terms as a man, and that legislation and regulations dealing with conditions and hours, payment, entry and training shall be based upon the nature of the work and not upon the sex of the worker; and to secure for a woman, irrespective of marriage or childbirth, the right at all times to decide whether or not she shall engage in paid work, and to ensure that no legislation or regulations shall deprive her of this right.”

The Open Door Council was founded in 1926 and lasted until 1965. It was affiliated with the feminist organization, Six Point Group, founded by the suffragette, Viscountess Rhondda, in 1921.
