TITLE: Deputation of Czech Women in the Imperial Parliament. DESCRIPTION: Právo ženy [Woman’s Right] was a women’s newspaper written in Czech language and published in Brno, the centre of the region Moravia, between 1911 and 1913. Moravia was a crown land of Austria (Cisleithania). The newspaper focused on the question of women’s political rights. Its editor was Zdenka Wiedermanová-Motyčková (1868-1915), teacher and founder of liberal feminist association Zemská organizace pokrokových žen na Moravě [Provincial Association of Progressive Women in Moravia]. The association established in 1910, became the umbrella organization of most of the political activities of Moravian Czech speaking middle class feminists, mostly referred to as Moravian progressive women. Výbor pro volební právo žen [Committee for Women's Voting Rights] was a group of women which since the end of 1905 coordinated the activities of the Czech speaking women’s suffragists in Bohemia, another crown land of Austria. The article deals with the visit of the delegation of Czech suffragists from the Committee for Women's Voting Rights and Provincial Association of Progressive Women in Moravia and the representatives of Czech women in Lower Austria at the Austrian parliament (Reichsrat) on July 17, 1911, the day when the session of the newly elected parliament started. The delegation asked for the extension of the “universal and equal” suffrage to women. The author describes the reception of the delegation by the prime minister Paul Gautsch and by the Czech members of the parliament (among others František Fiedler, Václav Klofáč, František Udržal, Antonín Němec, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and Adolf Stránský).

TITLE: The Domains of Saxon Women’s Social Work and Politics. DESCRIPTION: Meta Römer-Neubner (1869-?), daughter of Catholic parents, was a music teacher and activist the Kronstadt/Brașov/Brassó. In this article from 1913, the author reviews some Transylvanian Saxon responses to the Schäßburg/Sighișoara/Segesvár-born Marie Stritt’s advocacy of women’s suffrage at a German women’s congress in 1912 (Der Deutsche Frauenkongress, Berlin, 27. Februar bis 2. März 1912). An article in the Siebenbürgisch-Deutsches Tageblatt and Karl Jickeli in Die Karpaten opposed women’s suffrage and branded it as a threat to the Saxon family and nationality. Adele Zay, on the other hand, reporting on the conference for Kronstädter Zeitung, pointed out that far from solely a women’s issue, the struggle for suffrage was also part of a march towards the rule of universal humanist values. Römer-Neubner moves on to quote at length from Catechism of the Women’s Movement (Katechismus der Frauenbewegung), a pamphlet by Karl Wolff published in Leipzig, to emphasize the growing support for the idea in mainstream German politics. She rhetorically asks whether “we are fifty years behind civilized countries,” only to disclaim this proposition by pointing to the great progress that women’s movement has made in Transylvania. She mentions, for instance, the Kronstadt/Brașov/Brassó-based Association of Female Trade Employees (Verein der weiblichen Handelsbeflissenen, called here Verein weiblicher Handelsangestellter), founded in 1909. She argues that improved means of communication have made it easier to cooperate with Western feminists, referring to Transylvanian Saxon women’s rights activists’ contacts with feminists from Germany, and she reminds her readers of the opportunity that the upcoming seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA), which will be held in Budapest in June 1913, will offer. KEYWORDS: Empire and Feminism; Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements and Other Actors beyond Empire; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Work and Class Identity; Sexual Division of Labour; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: The Second Congress of Czechoslovak Women. DESCRIPTION: This report discusses the second congress of Czechoslovak women held in Prague (Praha, Prag) in 1908. 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). 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 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 article claims that the second congress of Czechoslovak women was organized on the occasion of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Francis Joseph’s reign, and reports that several pan-Slavic congresses have been organized on the occasion with the aim to strengthen the cooperation in the cultural and economic sphere. Delfa Ivanić (1881-1972) from Belgrade and Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873-1957) from Zagreb participated in the congress and were elected honorary vice-presidents of the congress. The congress discussed questions such as women’s position in society, family, state and culture. The report praises the Slavic cooperation and in closing discusses the possibilities of organizing the congress of Serbian women “on this side” (meaning, in Austria-Hungary rather than Serbia), which, according to some, should have occurred before the Chzechoslovak women’s congress. For the speech held by Delfa Ivanić on the occasion, see Delfa Ivanić, “Govor g-đe Delfe Ivanićke na kongresu slovenskih žena, koji je održan u Pragu o.g. (1) [The speech of Mrs Delfa Ivanić at the congress of Slavic women held in Prague this year (1)],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1908; and Delfa Ivanić, “Govor g-đe Delfe Ivanićke na kongresu slovenskih žena, koji je održan u Pragu o.g.

TITLE: One Minute. DESCRIPTION: Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873-1956) was Croatian feminist, the first female political journalist, editor of women’s magazines, and the most popular Croatian writer. In this short newspaper article, the author, identified as (female) patriot, describes her train travel from the region of Syrmia to Zagreb. She criticizes the use of Hungarian and German languages on railways, since passengers in Syrmia and Slavonia, mostly peasants, do not understand the announcements and often miss their destination where the train stops only for a minute (“egypercz” in Hungarian). Also referring to the introduction of Hungarian language in gymnasia in Croatia, the author ends the article with the critique of pro-Croatian politicians who fight among themselves for leadership, while the pro-Hungarian party accommodates “the descendants of Arpad.” This article, one of the firsts that Marija Jurić Zagorka published in the daily Obzor in 1896, marks the beginning of her career as the first female political journalist in Croatia. It attracted the attention of the influential Croatian bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, who then helped Jurić to get the position of journalist in charge of Hungarian politics in Obzor, where she would work until the end of the First World War. It demonstrates well her life-long interest in national issues, mainstream politics (a rarity among Croatian women active in the public space), and her concern for working classes. The article also presents the every day experience of the railways as an imperial institution.

TITLE: The Speech of Mrs Delfa Ivanić at the Congress of Slavic Women held in Prague This Year (1). DESCRIPTION: This speech by Mrs. Delfa Ivanić was given at the second congress of Czechoslovak women held in Prague (Praha, Prag) in 1908. The speech was published in two issues of Ženski svet in October and November 1908; this document is the first part of the speech. Delfa Ivanić (Podgorica 1881- Belgrade 1972) was a Serbian painter, humanitarian and activist for women's rights. She graduated from the Serbian High School for Girls in Belgrade in 1897 and began studies of chemistry at the University of Geneva (1897-1899) which she had to end due to the sudden death of her step-father. Together with the painter Nadežda Petrović, she initiated the establishment of a humanitarian women’s organization The Circle of Serbian Sisters (Kolo srpskih sestara) in 1903, which remained active for a long period. Her professional and public work includes the editing of The Circle of Serbian Sisters' bulletin Vardar (‘Vardar’) (1906-1913, 1920-1940) and the struggle for women’s suffrage and equal rights. Delfa Ivanić published over thirty titles, and published in journals such as Ženski pokret (‘Women's Movement,’ Belgrade, 1920-1938) and Domaćica (‘Housewife,’ Belgrade, 1879-1914, 1921-1941). The speech 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 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. ¶ In her speech, Delfa Ivanić explains that she is in Prague on the invitation – most likely – of the Central Association of Czech Women (Ústřední spolek český žen) representing the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) and The Circle of Serbian Sisters. Ivanić opens the speech by talking about the Serbian “tribe,” according to her, probably the only nation in Europe which is politically “split” to such an extent as it is the case with the Serbian people which lives under “such different political circumstances and influences” (as she explains further, in Austria-Hungary, in Ottoman Empire, Serbia and Montenegro). She explains that for this reason, when talking about Serbian women, one has to differentiate between the circumstances of Serbian women living in the different areas. At the same time, she mentions the “universal attributes of all Serbian women,” which are: kind heart, tameness, natural intelligence, cleverness and easy understanding. In Serbia, there are three types of women: women public workers, women housewives and peasant women. She points to positive and negative sides of life in Serbia. On the one hand, she positively evaluates schooling in Serbia, mentioning that also “our University is full of women.” She describes the struggles of women in Serbia as “very silent, without much effort,” saying that Serbian women easily get all they ask for. For this, she praises the Serbian state, and says Serbian women should be thankful to their state. On the other hand, she mentions the unjust Serbian law which is worse for women as compared to Austria-Hungary. Her examples are inheritance law, property law, and the absence of legal regulations that would protect children born out of wedlock and cheated girls. She also mentions the problem of unequal pay between women and men doing the same work. As she explains, even in the factories women are paid less. Ivanić additionally mentions the difference of the way of life among women from different classes, but she asserts that this difference is much bigger “in the North and West of Europe” as compared to Serbia. Her explanation for this is that Serbia is rich in “necessary groceries” but not in “luxury,” that people are used to “humble life” and “hard work.” Then, she describes the family life of Serbian women. Concerning the morality, she describes Serbian women as “virtuous and honest in a patriarchal way,” and as there is no aristocracy in Serbia, there are no “idle, lazy and pompous women,” nor women like those about whom Ibsen wrote, “who want to live only for themselves, as individuals.” ¶ Ivanić then talks about different women’s associations, including the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) which has 25 branch organizations in Serbia, organizes schools for girls from poor families where they can obtain a certificate for teaching in public or private schools. The Belgrade Women’s Society is also involved with the peasant women’s embroidery and handicraft. The Circle of Serbian Sisters has 18 boards in different places in Serbia, not counting Belgrade, the capital. She mentions that Serbian women from urban areas have made more progress than peasant women, who practically have to work all the time. Ivanić speaks about the communal life of peasants in cooperatives (zadruga), where 15-60 people (even more) live and work together, but mentions also that the life of the newly married women is extremely difficult in the cooperatives. Yet she evaluates cooperatives positively and says that rural women should be educated to keep the house cleaner and in a frugal way. The task of Serbian women is to educate Serbian peasant women. Additionally, Ivanić talks about: Serbian women from Montenegro, “another Serbian free country;” Serbian women from Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dalmatia; Serbian women “from this side of the river Sava” (i.e. in Austria-Hungary); finally, the Serbian women from Macedonia and “old” Serbia (still part of Ottoman Empire at the time), with a short description of the history of the Serbian people and the “500 years of slavery under the Ottomans.” The life of Serbs, and especially Serbian women in the Ottoman Empire is evaluated as extremely difficult. After her description of how Serbian women live in two empires and two “free countries,” she explains that the circumstances she has described can explain why Serbian women don’t have the possibility, time, and real need, to create an “extremely feminist organization,” and why they are not demanding for “privileges in the wider possible sense, such is the right to vote.” ¶ It should be added that the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) was the first Serbian women’s association in Serbia, established in Belgrade in 1875 under the patronage of Princess, from 1882 Queen, of Serbia Natalija Obrenović. The association was active until 1941, its official journal was Domaćica (‘Housewife’) and the initiator of the organization was Katarina Milovuk, the principal of the High School for Girls in Belgrade. The Circle of Serbian Sisters (Kolo srpskih sestara) was a charitable women’s association established in Belgrade in 1903 on the initiative of Delfa Ivanić, Nadežda Petrović (painter, 1873-1915), Katarina Milovuk (1844-1913), Draga Ljočić (a medical doctor, 1855-1926), and others. The first president of the organization was Savka Subotić. For an overview and cross-reference to Savka Subotić (1834-1918), see “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904. The organization was active helping the Serbian soldiers during the Balkan wars and the Great War/World War I. On the Second Congress, see “Drugi kongres československih ženskinja [The Second Congress of Czechoslovak Women],” Ženski svet, January 9, 1908.

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 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. ¶ In her speech, Delfa Ivanić explains that she is in Prague on the invitation – most likely – of the Central Association of Czech Women (Ústřední spolek český žen) representing the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) and The Circle of Serbian Sisters. Ivanić opens the speech by talking about the Serbian “tribe,” according to her, probably the only nation in Europe which is politically “split” to such an extent as it is the case with the Serbian people which lives under “such different political circumstances and influences” (as she explains further, in Austria-Hungary, in Ottoman Empire, Serbia and Montenegro). She explains that for this reason, when talking about Serbian women, one has to differentiate between the circumstances of Serbian women living in the different areas. At the same time, she mentions the “universal attributes of all Serbian women,” which are: kind heart, tameness, natural intelligence, cleverness and easy understanding. In Serbia, there are three types of women: women public workers, women housewives and peasant women. She points to positive and negative sides of life in Serbia. On the one hand, she positively evaluates schooling in Serbia, mentioning that also “our University is full of women.” She describes the struggles of women in Serbia as “very silent, without much effort,” saying that Serbian women easily get all they ask for. For this, she praises the Serbian state, and says Serbian women should be thankful to their state. On the other hand, she mentions the unjust Serbian law which is worse for women as compared to Austria-Hungary. Her examples are inheritance law, property law, and the absence of legal regulations that would protect children born out of wedlock and cheated girls. She also mentions the problem of unequal pay between women and men doing the same work. As she explains, even in the factories women are paid less. Ivanić additionally mentions the difference of the way of life among women from different classes, but she asserts that this difference is much bigger “in the North and West of Europe” as compared to Serbia. Her explanation for this is that Serbia is rich in “necessary groceries” but not in “luxury,” that people are used to “humble life” and “hard work.” Then, she describes the family life of Serbian women. Concerning the morality, she describes Serbian women as “virtuous and honest in a patriarchal way,” and as there is no aristocracy in Serbia, there are no “idle, lazy and pompous women,” nor women like those about whom Ibsen wrote, “who want to live only for themselves, as individuals.” ¶ Ivanić then talks about different women’s associations, including the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) which has 25 branch organizations in Serbia, organizes schools for girls from poor families where they can obtain a certificate for teaching in public or private schools. The Belgrade Women’s Society is also involved with the peasant women’s embroidery and handicraft. The Circle of Serbian Sisters has 18 boards in different places in Serbia, not counting Belgrade, the capital. She mentions that Serbian women from urban areas have made more progress than peasant women, who practically have to work all the time. Ivanić speaks about the communal life of peasants in cooperatives (zadruga), where 15-60 people (even more) live and work together, but mentions also that the life of the newly married women is extremely difficult in the cooperatives. Yet she evaluates cooperatives positively and says that rural women should be educated to keep the house cleaner and in a frugal way. The task of Serbian women is to educate Serbian peasant women. Additionally, Ivanić talks about: Serbian women from Montenegro, “another Serbian free country;” Serbian women from Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dalmatia; Serbian women “from this side of the river Sava” (i.e. in Austria-Hungary); finally, the Serbian women from Macedonia and “old” Serbia (still part of Ottoman Empire at the time), with a short description of the history of the Serbian people and the “500 years of slavery under the Ottomans.” The life of Serbs, and especially Serbian women in the Ottoman Empire is evaluated as extremely difficult. After her description of how Serbian women live in two empires and two “free countries,” she explains that the circumstances she has described can explain why Serbian women don’t have the possibility, time, and real need, to create an “extremely feminist organization,” and why they are not demanding for “privileges in the wider possible sense, such is the right to vote.” ¶ It should be added that the Belgrade Women’s Society (Beogradsko žensko društvo) was the first Serbian women’s association in Serbia, established in Belgrade in 1875 under the patronage of Princess, from 1882 Queen, of Serbia Natalija Obrenović. The association was active until 1941, its official journal was Domaćica (‘Housewife’) and the initiator of the organization was Katarina Milovuk, the principal of the High School for Girls in Belgrade. The Circle of Serbian Sisters (Kolo srpskih sestara) was a charitable women’s association established in Belgrade in 1903 on the initiative of Delfa Ivanić, Nadežda Petrović (painter, 1873-1915), Katarina Milovuk (1844-1913), Draga Ljočić (a medical doctor, 1855-1926), and others. The first president of the organization was Savka Subotić. For an overview and cross-reference to Savka Subotić (1834-1918), see “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904. The organization was active helping the Serbian soldiers during the Balkan wars and the Great War/World War I. On the Second Congress, see “Drugi kongres československih ženskinja [The Second Congress of Czechoslovak Women],” Ženski svet, January 9, 1908.

TITLE: Croatian Electoral Reform and Women. DESCRIPTION: Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873-1956) was a Croatian feminist, the first female political journalist, editor of women’s magazines, and a most popular Croatian writer. The text is an engaged manifest written by one of the most influential female public figures at that time. It is published in the newly founded magazine Ženskisvijet (Women’s world), edited by Zofka Kveder. The author discusses the new proposal for the extension of suffrage to all male citizens, presented to the Croatian Parliament in 1917. She argues in favor of women’s suffrage, highlighting that the state gives duties to citizens of both sexes, hence the need for equality in rights. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing the inexistence of a separate women’s movement for women’s rights in countries that are not independent, as opposed to the independent ones. Referring to the common struggle of both men and women in Croatia during history, and especially in the general national struggle against “Pest” (i.e. Budapest as the center of the Hungarian half of the Empire), the author points out that Croatian women refused a separate struggle, as well as an alliance with Hungarian feminists in the fight for women’s suffrage. She refers to a recent visit of an unnamed Hungarian feminist who visited Zagreb and invited Croatian women to overcome Croatian-Hungarian tensions and join Hungarian women in demonstrations for women’s suffrage. While the Croats refused the invitation from Budapest, they sent a delegate to Prague, to a congress of Czech women, where they demonstrated together against the suppression of national rights of Slavic peoples. (Zagorka here probably refers to the Seventh Congress of the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance held in 1913 in Budapest, and the related meeting of Slavic women held in Prague from 8th to the 12th of June 1913, see also 20476). Zagorka’s argumentation in favor of women’s suffrage is based not only on the principles of democracy and equality, but also on the historical merit of Croatian women who shared all nationalist efforts with their male compatriots, giving priority to national struggle over the feminist one.

TITLE: Ladies’ Salon: First Reform, Then Women’s Emancipation. DESCRIPTION: Contribution by Blanka Teleki (1806-1862) to the 7 May 1848 issue of Életképek. In her contribution, countess Blanka Teleki implies that the triumph of the slogan ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity’ (also the motto that the journal carried in its masthead) has ripened the time for women’s emancipation, calling on Hungarian women to live up to the slogan and thus “make it true.” Hungarian women must rise up from intellectual under age status to freedom and inspire their husbands to heroism, like Júlia Szendrei (1828-1868), Petőfi’s wife. Teleki stated that “woman stands at a monumental place if she understands the importance of her condition.” Teleki also encourages Hungarian women to get their daughters out from under the thumb of governesses, to give them an education worthy of human beings rather than of mayflies on the lookout for an eligible mate, to make them study singing (instead of piano), history, science, ethics and hygiene, and to restrict the teaching of handicraft to needlework for personal use. For an account on women in the Hungarian revolution of 1848/1849, see 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 (15pp.). More on Teleki can be found in Krassimira Daskalova, Anna Loutfi, and Francisca de Haan, A Biographical Dictionary of Women’s Movements and Feminisms: Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe, 19th and 20th Centuries (Budapest: Central European University Press, 2006), 218-19.

TITLE: Legitimate Women's Policy! DESCRIPTION: This brief newspaper article by Eleonora Lemény celebrates Art. III.3 of the 1918 Resolution proclaiming the union of Transylvania with the Kingdom of Romania. The article was published in the social-democratic newspaper Adevarul-Glasul Poporului. Eleonora Lemény (1885-1954) was a teacher and politician, a prominent member of the Social-democratic Party in Transylvania. She was a participant in international congresses, among which (in all likelihood) the 1913 International Suffrage Congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA), in Budapest. Beginning with 1912, she published on feminist themes in Romanian-language, social-democratic journals. Simultaneously a member of the Reunion of Romanian Women network, she taught literature and foreign languages in the Reunion's Sibiu secondary school. Together with other socialist leaders, she participated in the 1919 Paris negotiations to help convince outside socialist entities of the importance of a unified Romania. The 1918 Resolution proclaiming Transylvania’s union with the Kingdom of Romania included a provision for universal suffrage, at her insistence. She would resign, together with other Socialists, from her post as Minister of Labour in the transitional, government-like body of the Consiliul Dirigent/Transylvanian Guidance Council on account of the Bucharest central government’s dithering on the suffrage question. Art III.3 of the Resolution mentioned in this newspaper clipping called for “popular, direct, equal, secret vote, per village commune, proportionally, for both sexes, aged at least 21 years for representation in village communes, counties or parliament.” Lemény’s article argues that the provision built on the growing recognition of women’s long-standing political efforts for the national and social cause; she guarantees that “the future will show how much labor power, how much energy of thought has been squandered until now by disregarding women’s political work.” The document highlights the ideological diversity which existed among women involved in the Reuniunile Femeilor Române/Reunions of Romanian Women, the Transylvanian Romanian nationalist associations dedicated to philanthropy and women’s education. Secondly, the document signals discussions on suffrage in a post-imperial setting. Lemény’s biography reveals the importance of transnational connections, within and outside the Habsburg Empire for the genesis of these ideological positions. Her stance on the “national question” for instance, was compatible with the Austro-Marxist tradition, a current of thought which considered nationalist identifications to not be merely superstructural. The article also spotlights the largely-forgotten figure of Eleonora Lemény. Finally, it shows the influence of left-leaning versions of feminism in shaping political realities in Transylvania before and after 1918.
