Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in late 1917, the Russian revolutionary movement enjoyed broad support among American progressives in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The arrival of Catherine Breshkovsky, a well-educated, noble-blooded revolutionary, further solidified these ties between Russian and American reform in 1904. While in America, she befriended many American women, especially suffragists and settlement house workers, who were united by their universalist ideas of human progress. These connections, however, were severely undermined by the realities of war and nationalism.

TITLE: Advocate of Hungarian Women to the Estates Convened in Buda. DESCRIPTION: This document was written by a’ Javalló, meaning “the one who affirms,” which was used as a pseudonym by Ádám Pálóczi Horváth. The work is a plea for noble women’s right to be allowed as bystanders into the assemblies of the Hungarian diet, bearing close resemblance to the pamphlet by Péter Bárány that made the same point the same year 1790. In a peculiar move, soon after publication, Ádám Pálóczi Horváth rushed to write an answer in the positive to his own pamphlet, on noblemen’s behalf. In the Hungarian women’s movement to 1918, and beyond, all three texts were repeatedly commemorated as foundational documents of women’s aspirations for political participation. In Hungarian cultural memory, Pálóczi Horváth is remembered for his collection of popular poetry, for his Masonic roman à clef, and for his callow anti-German sentiments. Like Bárány, “Javalló” quotes Empress Maria Theresa as one proof that women can display more merit than beauty. He emphatically does not advocate deliberative power for them, at least not under the sorry Hungarian conditions, but he argues that as brethren and not slaves to men, they should be entitled to follow the dealings of the diet and to see their husbands fighting for their benefit. Their presence would exert a mutually salutary effect; not only would it mollify men’s tempers and give rise to more dignified debates, but also it would help men to win the admiration of their wives. Moreover, the fact that the proceedings take place in Hungarian may also endear the national tongue to the fair sex, prompting them to use it when talking to their sons.

The documentary film A Miracle A Day, is a portrayal of All Bengal Women's Union Welfare Home For Girls in Kolkata (Calcutta), India. The home is a progressive present-day example of the older institutions depicted in the highly acclaimed film "Lion", whose story also took place in Kolkata. It was founded in 1932 for women and girls to have a place of refuge from brothels, trafficking, poverty and abandonment. Today it is still thriving with residents ranging from one day old through their nineties. All Bengal Women's Union provides food, clothing, shelter, education and vocational training for 150 to 200 girls, young women, elderly and care for babies as well. The staff, many of whom are volunteers, show heartfelt and relentless dedication to helping every person become the best they can be. The film is an uplifting testament to the human spirit and it's capacity to surmount obstacles and transcend adversity.
