DESCRIPTION: In this handwritten letter from Semarang, Aletta Jacobs writes to Rosika Schwimmer. Jacobs, who was traveling with Carrie Chapman Catt, tells Schwimmer that she had been too busy to write sooner and seems to be responding to a letter from Schwimmer. Jacbos reports attending several suffrage meetings in Java and Sumatra and create ten new branches of “our society,” or the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA). Jacobs mentions the language barrier in that Catt only spoke in a few places because “the people…did not understand the English language.” Jacobs assures Schwimmer that Jacobs and Catt are not fighting, that a disagreement is not the cause for the change in travel plans. Instead, Jacobs needs to return to Holland for the national alliance presidential election. Her Dutch colleagues are worried she will not win reelection is she is not there in person. Jacobs lists the remaining travel plans, including two stops in Hong Kong, where she wishes to create a new branch of the alliance and to find delegates to attend the congress in Budapest. She plans to travel via railway through Russia before arriving home in November. Jacobs reports that she and Catt are both in perfect health, and Jacobs, again, reassures Schwimmer that she is not quarrelling with Catt. Jacobs congratulates Schwimmer on her work for the congress, and Jacobs hopes to attend in June. She sends best wishes for the congress preparations along with “many kisses of friendship.” KEYWORDS: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Carrie Chapman Catt; Aletta Jacobs; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Seventh Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA, Budapest, 15-21 June 1913; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Dutch East India (Indonesia); Java; Semarang; Róza Schwimmer (Rosika Schwimmer); Janka Grossmann; Szidónia Willhelm

TITLE: Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein Wien to Božena Viková-Kunětická, June 14, 1912. DESCRIPTION: The Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women’s Association] founded in 1893, was an influential association of German speaking Austrian women’s activists. Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) was a Czech speaking writer and nationalist politician. In 1912, she was elected a deputy to the Bohemian Provincial Diet, the first elected woman deputy in the Habsburg Monarchy. The curial electoral system to the Diet, in use since 1861, was based on tax and property qualifications and thus excluded a major part of the citizens on the basis of class. At the same time the regulations pertaining to the Bohemian Diet used gender neutral terms – some women thus were not deprived from the right to vote to the Diet, some were not explicitly excluded from the passive electoral right. The representatives of the General Austrian Women’s Association Adele Gerber (1863-1937) and Leopoldine Kulka (1872-1920) congratulate Viková-Kunětická to her victory and describe her election as an important step for the women’s movement as a whole.

TITLE: B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to Rosika Schwimmer, Praha, 24 May 1913. DESCRIPTION: Letter by B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to the Hungarian Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the local organizer of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA which would be held in Budapest from 15 to 21 June 1913. The authors point to the fact that they have received a letter by Carrie Chapman Catt, the President of the IWSA, who is disappointed that Božena Viková-Kunětická will not participate in the congress because she is not allowed to speak in Czech, and “demands in a friendly manner” that representatives of the Czech Committee for Women’s Voting Rights (Výbor pro volební právo žen) shall be present at the congress. There is the intention to come to do so under the condition that the representatives of the Committee may speak in Slovene, as the national language admissible at the public meetings, as had been the case in Stockholm (at the sixth confrence of the IWSA in 1911) and had been promised to them. Part of the conflict with Viková-Kunětická derives from the fact that she had not been aware of this possibility, and that the Committee had not been involved before she had been invited. They assume that under the conditions they describe Viková-Kunětická would still accept the invitation, and it would give a “good impression” if an enfranchised woman from the other part of the Habsburg Monarchy would speak at the congress. The response is urgent.

DESCRIPTION: This post script to a letter was written in the months leading up to the Seventh Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) to be held in Budapest, 15-21 June 1913. Catt likely was writing to Rosika Schwimmer, and maybe also Vilma Glücklich. Catt received a letter from Mrs. Braunfelds, who makes a suggestion for the congress regarding a Christian meeting like was held in previous congresses at Amsterdam and Stockholm. There is a recommendation to reach out to the Catholic Society of England, and Catt seems to like the idea, given the dominance of Catholicism in Hungary. According to Catt, the Dr. (Aletta Jacobs) believes Braunfelds to be easily provoked. Catt and Jacobs were likely travelling in Asia during this letter, which means it was likely written in late 1912. Catt and Schwimmer exchanged correspondence during 1912-1913 regarding the program and planning of the congress.

DESCRIPTION: In this handwritten letter from London, Carrie Chapman Catt writes to Rosika Schwimmer. Catt criticizes Schwimmer for not sending the Hungarian report in time for printing, which meant the publication went forward without it. She begs Schwimmer to write at once, answering the following questions: “1) What speakers for the evening meetings? 2) What arrangements are made for the afternoons? What ones are free for meetings?” Catt also discusses requirements for the program, such as each country having a presence as a speaker and providing stenographers from the United States, if needed. The third question comes later in the letter: “3) How can delegates secure their reduced rates unless they have some kind of credential that they are going to Budapest?” Catt reports that she is forced to remain in London longer than expected, but she will alert Scwhimmer when she plans to arrive in Budapest. The last page, likely the signature page, is missing.
