Excerpt from Report on the Women's Auxiliary Conference Held in the City of Washington, U. S. A: In Connection With the Second Pan American Scientific Congress, December 28, 1915 January 7, 1916
The Women's Auxiliary Conference of the Second Pan American Scientific Congress was proposed in the hope that an opportunity to become acquainted, to exchange views' on subjects of special interest to women as well as on those dealing with Pan American ism, might lead to a desire on the part of the women of the Amer icas for further friendly and harmonious cooperation in the future. It was the belief that such cooperation among women would fur nish a powerful factor in developing the means to increase the knowledge of things American, and to disseminate and make the culture of each American country the heritage of all American Republics. There was a vision of all that a united American womanhood might do in creating and cherishing feelings of mutual helpfulness and friendship, and of all it might contribute to a strong spiritual union of the Americas. The Conference had much inspiration and encouragement for its undertaking in the interest and participation of Latin American women in the earlier congresses, held in South America, and in the part women were to take in the Second Pan American Scientific Congress.
