La Citoyenne was a French feminist newspaper, founded, funded, and edited by Hubertine Auclert, with the primary aim of promoting women’s suffrage. Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892. This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. This issue includes the article “Les droits du mari” (“The Husband’s Rights”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin criticized women’s lack of legal protection within marriage, arguing against men’s nearly limitless control over their wives property and person. In “La polygamie en France” (“Polygamy in France”), Hubertine Auclert described what she considers the horrors of polygamy and called for its abolition all French colonies. The piece, “Suffrage des femmes” (“Women’s Suffrage”), reprinted a letter from the Englishwoman Elisabeth Wolstenholm-Elmy arguing for women’s suffrage. The article “Trois rêves dans un desert” (“Three Dreams in a Desert”), was the first of a multi-part series, translated from the English original by South African writer Olive Schreiner.

TITLE: With United Forces: Official Bulletin of the Alliance of Women’s Organizations of Hungary, Vol. 3, July-August 1912. DESCRIPTION: This journal issue is part of a selection of journals documenting the history of the Hungarian-speaking women’s movement in the Hungarian Kingdom in the Habsburg Monarchy. All issues available from 1909 to 1914 in the Országos Széchényi Könyvtár [Hungarian National Library] are included in this digital archive. As indicated in its subtitle, Egyesült Erővel (With United Forces) was the Official Bulletin of the Alliance of Women’s Organizations of Hungary (Magyarországi Nőegyesületek Szövetsége) and most of the associations forming the alliance. The alliance was established in 1904 and had 78 members in 1909. The journal gives information on the activities of the alliance, including its general assemblies and the activities of many Hungarian women’s associations. Repeatedly mentioned, among others, are the Budapest Israelite Women’s Association (Budapesti Izraelita Nőegylet) and other Jewish women’s associations, the Hungarian Welfare Women’s Association of Brassó [Brasov, Kronstadt] (Brassói Magyar Jótékony Nőegylet), the Klotild Assocation for the Marketing of Women’s Work (A női munkát értékesitő Klotild egylet), the National Association of Hungarian Farmer Women (Magyar Gazdasszonyok Országos Egyesülete), the Maria Dorothea Association (Mária Dorothea Egyesület), the National Association for Women’s Education (Országos Nőképző Egyesület), the Hungarian Association against the Traffic in Girls (Magyar Egyesület a Leánykereskedés ellen), the National Association of Woman Employees (Nőtisztviselők Országos Egyesülete), the National Catholic Association for the Protection of Women (Országos Kath. Nővédő Egyesület), and the Tabitha Women’s Association (Tabitha-Nőegylet). ¶ Egyesült Erővel regularly reported on congresses, news, and activities related to international organizations, including those by and for women and women’s movements of other countries. The journal published articles about various questions, institutions, and activities considered relevant for the women’s movement and women’s organizing in Hungary, in other countries, and in transnational perspective. It also included book reviews. The journal thus constitutes a key source of information in particular on the history of the more moderate wing of the Hungarian women’s movement and its international context. Non-Hungarian women’s activism in the Hungarian Kingdom is barely mentioned (see vol. 2, July-October 1911, p. 126); therefore, silenced in the journal. The organizations of social-democratic women were not covered by the journal. The liberal-progressive Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete) was a member of the Alliance and is repeatedly mentioned. The Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete) published its own journal, however, which is available online elsewhere. The journals of the social democratic women, Nőmunkás (Woman Worker) and the Catholic women’s movement, Értesítő (Information), are partially available in this digital archive. KEYWORDS: Political and Human Rights; Family Rights; Parental Custody; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Auguszta Rosenberg; Ilona Szemere; Mrs. Albert Apponyi born Clotilde, Klotild Dietrichstein-Mensdorff-Pouilly (1867–1942); Fredrikke Morck, Fredrikke Andrea Møllerup Mørck (1861–1934)

Title: Housewives and Their Rights. Description: Manuscript of an article written by Alexandrina Cantacuzino, leader of several women’s organization with a suffragist agenda, without date, probably from May 1938. In the article, Cantacuzino supported the right of housewives to vote in parliamentary elections. Because of the corporatist structure of the parliament this category of women without any lucrative occupation was excluded from the vote since it could not enter the elector body under any occupational category. In this article, Cantacuzino demanded from the government that these women be able to vote for the Deputies Chamber or at least for the Senate. Her arguments, based on a eulogy of motherhood, cited the necessity of housewives’ voting rights given their work in the family and their educating of the future generation. Cantacuzino also supported her demand with the argument that other countries recognized officially that household management was a lucrative occupation. Therefore, Romania also must recognize household management as an occupational category and housewives must receive their political rights.

Title: The Report of Mrs. President Alexandrina Cantacuzino on the Activity of National Council of Romanian Women During the Year 1934-1935, December 14, 1935. Description: Manuscript of Alexandrina Cantacuzino’s report as president of the National Council of Romanian Women for the period 1934 – 1935. The report details on the president’s internationalist work in behalf of child protection, the organization’s relations with and president’s view of ICW and IAW, the advancement of Romanian women’s civil rights, the inauguration of Woman’s House (institution for the social assistance of women and children). It does also provide information on the structure, organization and leading members of the National Council of Romanian Women at that time. The report concludes: “As you can see, Ladies and Gentlemen, there is an acute need for discipline in women’s actions so women will not give [the opportunity for] other demonstrations [of incompetence and disunity] and strengthen men’s arguments to push them out of political life. It is certain that at present in the world there is an increasing anti-feminist movement whose roots are in the mistakes women made in the last years but also in the men’s politics of violence which tend to reject women’s competition and value [while] women become increasingly equal with men.” Keywords: National Council of Romanian Women, report, civil rights, political rights, internationalism, nationalism, social work, structure

Title: The Reception for the Ladies who Participated at the Congress on July 29/12, 1919. Description: Manuscripts of a welcoming speech held by Elena Meissner, leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR), at the congress of the organization held on July 12, 1919. AECPFR is presented by Meissner as a “society of ideas and propaganda” in order to differentiate the feminist organization from the traditional women’s philanthropic associations very active in the period. In her speech, Meissner exposes the program of the organization as well as her ideas on the women’s emancipation and the achievement of full political and civil rights for women. In doing so, she responded to accusations of encouraging women to abandon their familial duties and embark on careers by reiterating the idea of the compatibility between ‘private’ and ‘public’ rights and duties: “[…] if the feminist association understands to fight for obtaining civil and political rights, it [its members] does not understand to give up to its [members’] duty as good mothers, wives, housekeepers. In other words, we want to keep the duties which we willingly (“cu drag”) fulfilled at home until now and, at the same time, raise our status to the height of that of man, to be equal with him in civil and political rights, be an equal partner/comrade and unite our forces with his for the welfare of the family and society.” Keywords: Feminism, civil rights, political rights, women’s emancipation, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women
