DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed.

The document conveys the decision taken during a meeting held in the rooms of the Agriculturalist-Association of Balmazújváros (Balmazújvárosi Földmivelő-Egylet). Two women, Mrs. István Bordás and Mrs. Gábor Magyar, shall represent the organization of the women of Balmazújváros at a conference called by the Feminist Association. The document gives a detailed reasoning, referring, among other things, to militarism and universal suffrage, and a version of the formula used by the Feminist Association: “Only the form of suffrage which includes women too is universal!” The document also refers to a prospective decision to be taken by “all our woman sisters of the world.” [The Hungarian text gives the gender-neutral Hungarian term for sisters/brothers, adding “woman” for clarification.] KEYWORDS: Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Habsburg Empire; Hungary

The male fellows had traveled to Budapest in connection with international cooperation involving Germany. They plan to call a people’s assembly in Balmazújváros in connection with the struggle for equal suffrage, and the women of Balmazújváros ask the women of the Feminist Association for information and advice in this regard because they want to participate in the struggle.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association (in Hungary)], Balmazújváros, ca. 1909. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and Mrs. István Bordás in particular, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), and Róza Schwimmer in particular. See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed. (Budapest: Magyar Élet kiadása, 1944), 231–243 (14pp.); as well as the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. The letter, which was written likely in 1909, opens with the salutation “My dear woman-fellows (Kedves nötársaim).” It refers to a letter the women of Balmazújváros had received in a language other than Hungarian. They could not read the letter and, therefore, had forwarded it to the Feminist Association. Since they cannot go (to London) because their “material situation” does not allow them to do so and since they cannot even send a letter there because they do not know the address, they kindly ask their fellows of the Feminist Association to take this letter on their behalf to London. The letter implies that the women of Balmazújváros had received an invitation from the International Woman Suffrage Alliance to participate in its fifth conference held in London from 26 April to 1 May 1909. This information was also publicized by the Feminist Association. KEYWORDS: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Rosika Schwimmer; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: Mrs. István Szabó to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association (in Hungary)], Balmazújváros, ca. 1910s. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed. (Budapest: Magyar Élet kiadása, 1944), 231–243 (14pp.); as well as the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. The dating of the letter is only partially visible. It was written on day 30 of any month between March and August, in an unknown year. The letter in all likelihood was written after June 1910, since Vilmos Mezőfi, the moderate agrarian-socialist social democratic politician (Social Democratic 48-Party [48-as Szociáldemokrata Párt]), to whom the letter refers, lost his mandate in the parliamentary elections held at that time. The women of Balmazújváros had traveled several times to the town of of Hajdúszoboszló some twenty kilometers away, where Mezőfi was campaigning. However, the women there, and even the “woman sisters [in Hungarian, rather than sister the gender-neutral term testvér is used; there is no gendered variant for testvér, and thus the term “woman” is added] have not even heard that the women should also organize. And we discussed that they should also organize. Because they belong into society in the same way as men do. Still, there are propertied women [in] Hajdúszoboszló who need the vote.” The women of Balmazújváros were pleased to see that Róza Schwimmer has made an appearance in Hajdúszoboszló. The women of Balmazújváros plead that the women of the Feminist Association shall not forget about them. They also want to see a people’s assembly organized in August or September. They had supported Mezőfi’s candidacy, but bribary had decided the outcome of the election. KEYWORDS: Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Peasant Women’s Activism; Rosika Schwimmer; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.
