Abstract	:	This dissertation studies New York lawyer and women's rights advocate Dorothy Kenyon and her role in an international women's movement between the 1930s and 1950 whose goal was to identify and eliminate legal discriminations against women. Kenyon was appointed to represent the United States on two international commissions that studied the status of women where she actively enlisted the assistance of international women's organizations such as the International Alliance of Women (IAW), International Federation of Business and Professional Women (IFBPW), and the World Young Women's Christian Association (WYWCA) and others. Assistance was also provided by the U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau, which puts her in the thick of the debate over protective legislation for women and the National Woman's Party's attempts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In the League of Nations Kenyon and her colleagues created a questionnaire designed to evaluate national laws that differentiated men and women until the League became defunct. In the United Nations, Kenyon continued her work during the beginning of the Cold War, from 1947 to 1950, on the Commission on the Status of Women to instill international standard-setting for women by writing conventions (treaties) and encouraging active participation of women's non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to help gain political, social, cultural and educational rights to raise the standard of living for women all over the world. The commission held its third session in Beirut, Lebanon in 1949 to encourage involvement with non-western women. The work that Kenyon and the commission achieved during these years forms the foundation of subsequent international agreements that sought to eliminate discriminations against women.
