Second Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance

The welcoming address was made by Anita Augspurg of Germany and then Carrie Chapman Catt received the gavel from delegates of Wyoming.

Visitors from Switzerland, New Zealand, Austria and Hungary were made members of the convention and were permitted to join freely in the discussion, until the constitution should be adopted.

Thereafter, honorary new associates were accepted, including Austrian Friederike Mekler von Traunwies; Danes Anna Hude, Johanne Münter, and Charlotte Norrie; Hungarian Bertha Katscher; New Zealanders Wilhelmina Sherriff Bain and Isabel Napier; and Swiss Pauline Chaponnière-Chaix and Camille Vidart.

The majority of the delegates from Denmark having conferred together, they likewise expressed a desire to enter the Alliance, and pledged themselves that their association would declare itself for full suffrage.

Thus before leaving Berlin, every suffrage association in the world which could in any sense be called national except perhaps that of Canada, had entered into the Alliance, and the number of countries represented was eight.
