Speaker at the Twelfth Congress of the International Alliance of Women (IAW) in Istanbul
| Description: | A lady is delivering a speech in front of a microphone. She is leaning forward, displaying passionate body language. Her hands are folded and she is holding the end of a ribbon. Three other ladies are sitting to her right, listening attentively. Behind her, in the back row of the representative hall in which this scene is taking place, a woman with glasses is taking notes. She is watched by a smiling young girl standing behind her. Several more women are sitting along the wall to the speaker’s right. |
