TITLE: “Women’s Question,” in _In the Struggle for Bread and Spirit: Representations from the Life and Development of the German Transylvanian Woman _. DESCRIPTION: The paper, from a 1927 volume, briefly sketches out the biographies of three outstanding Transylvanian Saxon women activists from the pre-World War I period: Luise Geifrig-Korodi, Marie Stritt and Adele Zay. Luise Geifrig-Korodi, the sister of Transylvanian Saxon politician Lutz Korodi, studied photography at the Lette-Verein in Berlin and opened her own atelier in the same city in 1894. She mainly worked for illustrated magazines, specializing on cityscapes, the social documentary genre, and portraits of famous people in work settings. She was also elected to the executive committee of the Union for Germandom Abroad (Verein für das Deutschtum im Ausland). Marie Stritt (1855-1928) was a Saxon woman who achieved even greater prominence abroad. She was born in Schäßburg/Sighișoara/Segesvár into the family of Joseph and Therese Bacon, him an art-loving physician and her the hostess of a women’s salon and a promoter of feminist ideas. Having settled in Dresden upon marrying a German citizen, Stritt embarked on a public career to criticize the country’s outdated family law and to found the Women’s Legal Protection League (Rechtsschutzverein für Frauen). She was elected to the board of the Union of German Women’s Associations (Bund Deutscher Frauenvereine), which she later also presided for ten years. She rose to wider fame as the representative of the German women’s movement at international events. She also led the Imperial Society for Women’s Suffrage (Deutscher Verband für Frauenstimmrecht) between 1911 and 1919. Adele Zay (1848-1928) was the one of the three who spent most of her life in Transylvania. Zay traveled widely in Europe and increasingly advocated women’s equality and suffrage. She was a leading representative of the General Women’s Association of the Transylvanian Evangelical Church (Augustan Confession) (Allgemeiner Frauenverein der evangelischen Landeskirche A.B. in Siebenbürgen), founded in 1884. Sister of the later liberal politician Adolf Zay, she started her professional career teaching French and German in a Bucharest orphanage in the early 1870s, only later to receive proper training as a teacher in Vienna and Szeged. For several decades, she taught prospective kindergarten teachers in Kronstadt/Brașov/Brassó. She stood at the forefront of the struggle for the employment of female teachers within Transylvanian Evangelical Church, and she correspondended with leading figures of the German women’s movement. She was also co-author of a textbook of Hungarian for students of German civil schools (Bürgerschulen).

TITLE: Demands of Radical Hungarian Ladies. DESCRIPTION: From the 29 April 1848 issue of Pesti Divatlap (‘Pest Fashion Journal’; see also items 30594, 30598 and 30600). The “Demands” were “noted down” by Imre Vahot “on the authority of the Radical Hungarian Women” who claimed upon publication that the petition had been signed by “several hundred Hungarian ladies” already. The document can be considered a forceful and comprehensive expression of women’s demands in the Hungarian revolution of 1848/1849. An English translation of this source, and account on women in the Hungarian revolution, can be found in Robert Nemes, “Getting to the Source: Women in the 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution,” Journal of Women’s History 13, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 193–207. KEYWORDS: Women Challenging Empire; Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Nation-Building; Women and National Languages; Social Reform and Political Activism; Child Care; Women and Education; Education in National Languages; Habsburg Empire, Hungary
