DESCRIPTION: This card 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.

TITLE: Megbizó Levél, Mrs. Gábor Magyar and Mrs. István Bordás, [Authorization letter], Balmazújváros, 12 November [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 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

Two male associates from Balmazújvár had been to Budapest; yet, they had not had the time to see Róza Schwimmer. The women plan to go to Budapest themselves, too. 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. 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; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 1 December 1916. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on the activities of a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and their relationship with 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 letter opens with the salutation “Esteemed Colleague (Tisztelt tagtárs).” Mrs. István Bordás reports that the effort of the women of Balmazújváros, in response to the letter by the Feminist Association, had been in vain: They had not been able to publish the cable to Emperor Francis Joseph in the local papers. Their request had been rejected with the argument that such “socialist meshwork (szocziálista fészek)” could not be published. The letter carries a stamp which reads “The Free Woman Organization (A Női Szabadszervezet), Balmazújváros.” See also, “Mrs. Gábor Magyar to Rosika Schwimmer, Balmazújváros, 3 June 1908” (Letter, Balmazújváros, June 3, 1908), P999 Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Box 3 Folder 5, Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár [National Archives of Hungary]; and “Mrs. András Juhász and Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association (in Hungary)], Balmazújváros, ca. 1910s” (Letter, Balmazújváros, 1910s), P999 Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Box 3 Folder 5, Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár [National Archives of Hungary].

Mrs. Bordás reports that for the first time a genteel woman (úri asszony), Mrs. Jenő Gréger, has been won as subscriber to the journal of the Feminist Association. She discusses how many issues of the journal she would like to receive, and some related matters, and relates that the journal “is held in very low esteem” because it is published only once a month. If it was published every day, that a child could be hired to sell it.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 6 August 1916. 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). 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]. Mrs. Bordás reports that it has become very difficult to distribute the journal of the Feminist Association. (This is the new journal of the Association published since 1914.) Not only it is high harvest season and there is a lot of work, but also those who are not members of the organization of the women of Balmazújvaros have become “rogues,” saying that there is no need for journals, that bread is what is needed, and there is not enough of it any longer. They look into the clouds for God, while from the point of view of Mrs. Bordás, it would be better if the “earthly Gods would perish. In these, there is no human feeling any longer, they don’t have any pity for the peoples, the horrible hike in prices is unbearable. So, we just endure and suffer because we are women.” Mrs. Bordás often discusses with the working women in her spare time. “[T]he war has very much disturbed the peace of the people.” Mrs. Bordás orders only 25 copies of the next issues and will return unsold copies of the former issues later on. KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; World War I; Peasant Women’s Experience of War; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political and Human Rights; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Peasant Women’s Activism; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 12 January 1917. 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). 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 opens with the salutation “Dear Colleague (Kedves tagtárs).” Mrs. Bordás confirms the receipt of 25 copies of the journal of the Feminist Association and repeats that it would be better if it was published daily. She also sends an article which she had written for the journal: “If it is in conformity with the censorship. I would like to write in a manner which would correspond better with [what I feel in] my heart.” Yet, an article written in this way would fall victim to the censorship anyway, “since at the present time it is off limits to write the truth.” KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; World War I; Social Reform and Political Activism; Wartime Censorship; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Peasant Women’s Activism; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Mrs. István Szabó; Mrs. József Deli; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.
