TITLE: Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the First Women's Cooperative in Novi Sad. DESCRIPTION: This is an unsigned report about the 40-year celebration of a women’s organization in Novi Sad which in this document, as well as in other documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina, is regularly described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad (Ujvidék), the Vojvodina. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The text was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The editor of the journal was Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. The author of the text reports that the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad had been established by a Serbian woman, Savka Subotić(1834-1918), but that it has become “a purely Hungarian institution” since, just like many other institutions which had been established by the Serbs but have ended up serving “foreign interests.” One of the messages of the text is an advice to “us Serbs” to never cooperate with the “foreign element,” because the Serbs in that case end up being invisible. The texts reports that during the celebration in 1907, Savka Subotić was elected an honorary president of the association – the association is not named here but referred to as “the first local women’s association” – in order to pay her respect.The author mentions that the spokesperson during the celebration did not mention that Subotić had been the one who had established the cooperative 40 years earlier, and complains that the documents about the establishment of the organization “had certainly been destroyed.” Finally, the author reports that on the occasion of the celebration Savka Subotić held a speech in German and was in the center of attention of “all our foreign-speaking fellow citizens” (most probably meaning here specifically Hungarians and Germans). In the evening, there was a party and “our Serbs” attended the party as well. See also, “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904.

TITLE: Medical Doctor Kornelija Rakić. DESCRIPTION: This is a biography of Kornelija Rakić, the first female medical doctor among the Serbs in Hungary. The author of this article is Milica Tomić (1859-1944), a writer, editor and a public activist for women’s rights born and based in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Vojvodina. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. Milica Tomić published numerous works on the subject of women’s rights, education and emancipation. Her central endeavor was founding the periodical Žena (The Woman) in 1911, which she edited from 1911 until 1921 (because of the First World War, the periodical was not published from 1915 to 1917). In 1881, she was hired to work for the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women in Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). See, “Rad dobrotvornih zadruga [The Work of Charitable Cooperatives],” Ženski svet, January 5, 1886. In 1910, she initiated the establishment of the Women’s Reading Room ‘Posestrima’(Ženska čitaonica ‘Posestrima’, a descriptive translation is “the reading room where women become sisters”), where Serbian women of all classes would meet, read together and discuss what they had read. See, Milica Tomić, “Ženska čitaonica [Women’s Reading Room],” Žena, 1911. Milica Tomić cooperated with Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948), a prominent Hungarian feminist, and their correspondence was published in one of the issues of Žena. In the beginning of the article, Milica Tomić notices that in recent times, the doors of universities have become open for women. At the time of writing, there are already certain women who had received their PhD in philosophy, even medicine. Some women even practiced medicine without going to the medical school. Importantly, Tomić mentions that many women are shy to go to male doctors, so they remain ill; this is one of the reasons, adds Tomić, to celebrate the fact that women had finally started practicing medicine. Further on, she reports that Kornelija Rakić, born in 1879 in Ruma, was the first Serbian woman from Austria-Hungary to become a medical doctor. She worked first in Novi Sad (Újvidék) until she was invited to Bosnia, where she – claims Tomić – was also the first woman medical doctor. Rakić spent six months in Sarajevo, and then was sent to Bihać. For over a year, her task was to treat Muslim women, and to deal with and generate statistics on contagious diseases present in the area. For this, she was praised and awarded, and Milica Tomić congratulates and wishes Rakić persistence and success in her future work.

TITLE: Ms. Božena Viková-Kunětická. DESCRIPTION: The women’s journal, Živena, founded in 1910, was connected to the Slovak women’s association Živena and edited by its chairwoman Elena Maróthy-Šoltésová (1855-1939), Slovak writer, editor and publicist and a leading figure of Slovak women’s activism. She is also most likely the author of the text. The text deals with the election of the Czech speaking writer Božena Viková Kunětická (1862-1934) to the Bohemian Provincial (crown land) Diet in 1912. Božena Viková-Kunětická was the first woman elected to the (regional) parliament in the Habsburg Monarchy. In 1913 she refused to attend the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) in Budapest after she hadn’t been allowed to give her speech in Czech or Slovak language – which were not the official languages of the Congress – and after her proposition to include the protest against the situation of the Slovak nation in Hungary into the official program of the congress hadn’t been taken into account by the organizers. The author writes about the event from the perspective of Slovak nationalism. She points out that the election of the woman to the diet was such a surprising event that it even surpassed the “old German-Slavic resentment.” She states that Viková-Kunětická was warmly welcomed by the German speaking women at the women's election congress in Munich, Germany on September 23, 1912 and her speech was appreciated there. The author of the article appreciates that Viková-Kunětická condemned the suppression of the Slavs in Austria-Hungary and in particular showed sympathy with the Slovaks in her speech at the congress in Munich. She also appreciates Kunětická’s attitude towards the IWSA congress in Budapest. According to the author Czech women can be satisfied with their representative to the Bohemian diet. She expresses the gratitude for her interest in Slovak women. See also, “Náš mladý král’ovský pár [Our Young Royal Couple],” Živena 7, no. 12 (December 1916): 236–237 (2pp.). Cooperation between Slovak and Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) women, and the topos of Slovak-Czech brotherhood and sisterhood transcended the separation of these nationalities speaking Slavic languages within the Habsburg Monarchy. The Czech lands belonged to Austria (Cisleithania) while the Slovakian lands belonged to Hungary. Austria and Hungary formed the two constitutive parts of the Habsburg Monarchy, each of which was in charge of its own domestic politics, including suffrage.

TITLE: A Letter (to Mrs. Darinka - Vilovo). DESCRIPTION: This article is one piece of correspondence between Julka Srdić (from Ljubiški in Herzegovina) and Mrs. Darinka (probably Darinka Bulja) from Vilovo, Vojvodina. The letter is published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. The editor of Ženski svet was Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. Julka Srdić mentions that her last letter had been from Bosnia, while now she writes from Herzegovina. She describes Herzegovina as a very stony area. There are no trees, and there is only one spring of water. Further, she explains that the Catholics are dominant in the area – there are some “Serbs and Muslims, but mostly Catholics.” The moral of the people is described as low, even though they are “religious fanatics.” As she reports, men had mostly migrated to America, whereas the moral of the Catholic women is low. Finally, she mentions that she has received the gift from Irig, the book Srpkinja [The Serbian Woman], as she was a collaborator on the project. See, “Poziv na pretplatu: ‘Srpkinja’ [A Call for Subscription for ‘The Serbian Woman’],” Ženski svet, January 9, 1913.

TITLE: Salute to Young Women’s Associations. DESCRIPTION: This article is a salute sent to young Serbian women, who had recently formed Young Women’s Associations (Devojačka udruženja) in Novi Sad (Újvidék) and Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda) in the Vojvodina. See also, “Devojačko udruženje [The Young Women’s Association],” Ženski svet, January 4, 1889. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The article is signed by Anđelija Kuzmanović, who describes how happy she was when she read about the establishment of these associations in the previous issue of the journal. The text was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad, in 1874, was the editor of the journal. The author is enthusiastic about the establishment of Young Women’s Associations, pointing out that without community and harmony there is no strength and progress. She mentions the importance of family, connecting it to the history of pedagogy and the need of the children to learn national literature and language. She argues that the change of the position of women is necessary for educational and national interests. It is important to work against the tendency of many young women to use the foreign language and adopt foreign customs. Kuzmanović mentions the Serbian statehood lost 500 years earlier in Kosovo (The Battle of Kosovo, 1389), but also the importance of Serbian statehood after 500 years had passed during which the language, name and nationality have been preserved. She adds that Slovaks, on the other hand, would never be “what they had been once,” as they have “lost the gift of their ancestors.” She also mentions the importance of the family since it can cause the change in the society. The mother’s task is to protect the family from foreign influences. The author refers to Pestalozzi, who claimed that the influence of the mother and the house is a key for the progress of a child. Thus, the women’s task is to help their Serbian “brothers” to preserve the gifts of the ancestors.

TITLE: A Call for Subscription for "The Serbian Woman." DESCRIPTION: This article is a call, published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary.

The editor of the journal was Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. The book, The Serbian Woman, her Life and Work, her Cultural Development and her Folk Art up to Date (Srpkinja, njezin život i rad, njezin kulturni razvitak i njezina narodna umjetnost do danas), edited by Serbian women writers, was published in 1913 by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian women in Irig (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Iriškinja), Vojvodina. The book includes the review of the work of 60 Serbian women storytellers, poets, artists, etc. It is described as precious because it shows that Serbian women are not altruistic women who heal the wounds of Serbian soldiers, but also cultural workers. Some of the authors of the book, mentioned in the article, are: Jelica Belović-Bernardzikovski, Zora Prica (Belgrade), Maga Magazinović (Belgrade) and Darinka Bulja (Vilovo). The book is dedicated to Savka Subotić. The call is signed by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women in Irig, the secratary Stevan Radić and the president Zorka Živković.

DESCRIPTION: This article discusses a statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), created during the general assembly of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) from Novi Sad in February 1902, and signed by Arkadije Varađanin, secretary, and Julka Radovanović, principal. The text was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The editor of Ženski svetwas Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. The article reports that the alliance is established in the form of cooperative and the statute has 30 clauses. The clauses define the goals of the alliance with regard to the realms of charitable, educational and economic work. The goals include: to establish new Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women; to collect money in case of floods or fire “in our country or outside of it”; to assist the “Red Cross” society in case of war in the “fatherland” or “other areas where Serbian people live”; to build shelters for orphans and old people; to establish schools for children where they would be trained to be good, hardworking and develop proper morals; to help prepare good and honest domestic tutors and teachers for better-off Serbian households; to establish schools for women’s handicraft and places where these products would be sold; to teach the members to be frugal in order to have a good and progressive household. The alliance has a common budget. The direction of the alliance is set in Novi Sad. The official language of the alliance is Serbian, and the Cyrillic the official alphabet. For the report on the first meeting of representatives of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women, published in Ženski svet in June 1902, see “Prva skupština Saveza Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja [The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women],” Ženski svet, January 6, 1902.

TITLE: The Celebration of the 70th Birthday of Mrs. Savka Subotić. DESCRIPTION: A report of the celebration of the 70th birthday of SavkaSubotić which the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) had organized in October, and which was attended by many officials of the Serbian institutions in Novi Sad. SavkaSubotić was not present, as she was in Paris at the time. Most of the text gives the speech held on the occasion by Arkadije Varađanin (Velika Kikinda/Nagykikinda 1844- Novi Sad/Újvidék 1922). The report was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja).The editor of the journal was Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights, a teacher, secretary of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Újvidék), and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Vojvodina in 1874. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. Savka Subotić (1834-1918) was active in the women's movement in the Vojvodina, and also in Serbia and internationally. Subotić was educated in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Timișoara (Temesvár, Temeswar) and Vienna. Her main focus was the education of girls, especially Serbian girls; Subotić initiated the establishment of the first Serbian language high schools for girls, established in Novi Sad, Vojvodina and Pančevo (Pancsova), military frontier/Vojvodina in 1874 and in Sombor (Zombor), Vojvodina in 1875. See also, Milica Tomić, “Naše više devojačke škole [Our high schools for girls],” Žena, January 6, 1911; and “Srpska Viša Devojačka Škola u Novom Sadu [The Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, August 1913. In addition, Subotić was active in educating Serbian women in the countryside, and created a program of economic development for women who lived in the villages by popularizing and building the handicraft industry of the time. In 1867, Subotić established a women’s organization in Novi Sad (Ujvidék), the Vojvodina, which in documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina regularly is described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. Subotić was a respected member of the Serbian community, but also well known in Austria-Hungary as a whole and in the international women’s movement. In his speech, Arkadije Varađanin mentions that in the early years of her married life, Subotić had slowly come out of the “narrow frame” of family life into the “broader circle of national life,” but never ceased to remain true to her motherly and domestic duties. Varađanin talks about Subotić’s choice to work with the “national masses” in order to “morally elevate” and “materially assist” them, going to the villages herself as a “traveling national educator.” It was one of the Subotić’s accomplishments to modernize traditional women’s handicraft in order to make it appreciated in the “world market.” As Varađanin describes, Subotić worked on popularization of national rugs and canvas in the well to do households, taking care that they would be exhibited in Novi Sad (Újvidék) (1884), Budapest (1885) and Paris (1900). She had established the first Women’s Cooperative in Novi Sad that had no national or religious characteristics in 1864 with the help of Jovan Andrejević (1833-1864, a doctor, journalist and one of the founders of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad). According to Varađanin, this had been the first women’s organization in the area up to Vienna, even Germany. Later on, “the Serbian side” had to establish a new organization to serve the purposes for Serbian women alone. As Subotić turns 70, there are 70 women’s organizations in the area, with over 7,000 members. On her 70th birthday, Varađanin continues, Subotić becomes the president of the most recent women’s organization in the Kingdom of Serbia, The Circle of Serbian Sisters (Kolo srpskih sestara), which pursued goals mainly related to charity. She is also in charge of another charity women’s organization in Belgrade, the Princess Ljubica Society (Društvo kneginje Ljubice) and a member of the Women’s Society (Žensko društvo) in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia. Varađanin highlights that Subotić had done a lot for women’s education as well, initiating in 1870 the establishment of three Serbian High School for Girls in Vojvodina, Hungary. Even though there are “still dissenting voices” to women’s education, Varađanin believes that Subotić inspired the establishment of schools in “Serbia, Montenegro and now the schools for girls are established in Old Serbia as well.” With the help of these schools (meaning, the school for girls with Serbian as a teaching language), “the Serbian women’s spirit is now more cheerful, progressive and patriotic,” which is important for the national interest. Moreover, in 1891, when the law was passed for the mandatory children’s kindergartens, Subotić collected money to open a Serbian kindergarten in Novi Sad, so that the national language and religion would not be “killed.” Subotić has also published aphorisms and various articles, Varađanin reminds the listeners. Besides Varađanin’s speech the article gives a short letter by Savka Subotić, who writes from Paris, in which she thanks for the celebration, and emphasizes that all of her ideas were carried out by the “daughters” of Novi Sad and that it is their celebration as much as it is hers.

TITLE: The Work of Charitable Cooperatives. DESCRIPTION: The text is a report on the work of three different charitable cooperatives (zadruge) of Serbian women in Vojvodina and Hungary. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the major languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The three segments of the text are about the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Újvidék) (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja), the Women’s Charitable Cooperative in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda) (Velikokikindska ženska dobrotvorna zadruga) and the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Segedin (Szeged) (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Segedinkinja), respectively. The article was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). It was edited by Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. The first part of the article reports that the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was established in 1880, but that the idea of cooperation had emerged already in 1867 when Mrs. Tomenović – on someone’s incentive– brought together Serbian women. See also, “40-godišnja proslava prve ženske zadruge u N. Sadu [Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the First Women’s Cooperative in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, January 2, 1907. Many Serbs, including Prince Mihailo, contributed financially to this organization. In this way, the article aims to show that Serbian men and women were the ones who established the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. The author of the text, however, complains that “the non-Serbian sisters” ignored this “sacrifice for this universal human cause” and did not care sufficiently about the needs of the Serbian people, which resulted in Serbian women’s absence from this organization in the end. Consequently, Serbian women established a new women’s organization, Women’s Committee (Ženski odbor), which in 1870 advocated for the establishment of the first High School for girls in Vojvodina, collected contributions for the publication of Serbian romantic poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj’s poetry collection. Also, the women from the committee helped their Serbian “brothers,” who fought for freedom in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina by taking care of them. In 1880, the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was established on the model of women’s cooperatives previously established in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda) and Bečej (Óbecse). The first activity of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was the collection of money for the “brotherly town of Zagreb” that had been hit by an earthquake the same year. The second part of the article gives information about the Women’s Charitable Cooperative in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda), the oldest Serbian women’s cooperative established in 1873, whose aim was to help poor widows, orphans and sick people and to educate poor children. Finally, the third part is about the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Segedin (Szeged), established in 1875 with the primary aim of preserving the Serbian nation.
