TITLE: International Congress for the Women's Suffrage. DESCRIPTION: This article is an announcement on the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) planned for /held in 1913 in Budapest. See also, Vladislava-Boba Polit, “O feminizmu. VII. međunarodni svetski kongres ženskinja u Budimpešti [On feminism. The 7th international world’s congress of women in Budapest],” Ženski svet, August 1913. It includes the letter of Rosika Schwimmer to Milica Tomić, inviting the Serbian sisters to join the congress. The announcement was published in Žena (The Woman), a periodical edited by Milica Tomić and published in Novi Sad (Újvidék), 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. Milica Tomić is most likely the author of the text. Tomić (1859-1944) was a writer, editor and a public activist for women’s rights born and based in Novi Sad. She published numerous works on the subject of women’s rights, education and emancipation. In 1911, she founded the journal Žena, which she edited until 1921. In 1881, she had been 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’). 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 article, the author explains that the international congresses in support of women’s suffrage shows the progress in all countries when it comes to the question of women’s suffrage. The author believes that the planned congress in Budapest will be successful and that it will help “the women’s movement fighting for women’s suffrage.” The author is enthusiastic about the planned congress in Budapest, describing what is planned and who is supposed to come. The author includes a letter which the editor, Milica Tomić, has received from Rosika Schwimmer, who invites “the Serbian sisters” to join the congress. The author evaluates the invitation as very kind and invites Serbian women to attend the congress.

TITLE: On the Women's Suffrage. DESCRIPTION: This article is a report on the assembly held in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Vojvodina, in favor of women’s suffrage, with participation of Rosika Schwimmer (1877-1948) from Budapest. 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 report is unsigned, but the author is probably Milica Tomić, the editor of the periodical Žena (The Woman) in which this report was published. Milica Tomić (1859-1944) was a writer, editor and a public activist for women’s rights born and based in Novi Sad. She published numerous works on the subject of women’s rights, education and emancipation. In 1911, she founded the journal Žena, which she edited until 1921. In 1881, she had been 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’). See, Milica Tomić, “Ženska čitaonica [Women’s Reading Room],” Žena, 1911. Tomić cooperated with Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948), a prominent Hungarian feminist, and their correspondence was published in one of the issues of Žena. The organizers of the assembly in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Vojvodina, were the Serbian People‘s Radical Party (Srpska Narodna Radikalna Stranka) and other parties. The author mentions that the first two parties reportedly supported women’s suffrage, while the leader of the third, Hungarian party repeatedly declared that “the time has not come yet.” One of the speakers at the assembly was Rosika Schwimmer (1877-1948), a Hungarian feminist and suffrage activist, talking during the assembly as a representative of the Hungarian Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). The author describes how determined Schwimmer was to talk, even though many opposed it. After the speech, some men on the street led the discussion about Schwimmer’s talk; a Hungarian man spoke out against Schwimmer, while a Serbian man was supportive. A socialist speaker from Budapest was speaking against Rosika Schwimmer, saying that she was not welcome on the assemblies of men. Finally, the author reminds the reader of the recent bloody demonstrations in Budapest (probably 23 May 1912, a mass demonstration for universal suffrage in Budapest called afterwards “Bloody Thursday”), where many had been killed and injured, including several Serbian women. KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; Women and Nation within Empire; Relations Between Women of Different Nationalities; Women and Nation-Building; Women and Relationship Between Nations in the Empire; Women and Struggle Between Nations in the Empire; Women and National Languages; National Identity; Women Challenging Empire; Empire and Feminism; Social Reform and Political Activism; Multi-Ethnic Participation in Social Movements; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Socialism; Political and Human Rights; Nationality Rights; Suffrage; Equal Rights for Women; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Vojvodina; Novi Sad; Serbia; Budapest

This cluster contains documents found mainly in Cuba and thus not available in the United States. It complements other archival resources I have made available elsewhere. From these records are examples of the range of activists’ visions for their country and their places in a modern society. They also speak of the competitive attitudes women adopted when they tried to steer a course to empower themselves and women in general. Taken together with all archives on Cuban women, they offer a bas-relief of women addressing women from poses expressing femininity and bold aggression. A study of the Cuban woman’s movement that highlights the nature of relationships among the activists adds to an analysis of inherited gender culture in the former Spanish colony and the difficulty of adapting that culture to standards of modernity.

The American colonial period had a profound impact on Filipino women’s activism, achievements, and status. Filipinas found increased educational opportunities, access to previously-closed professions, and a greater presence in the public sphere. However, these so-called opportunities were largely accessible only to those belonging to the elite class. Women during the decades of American rule were also caught between the conflicting aims of the American colonial state and the Filipino nationalist movements, which were male-dominated. Filipino women thus had to carefully navigate the socio-political context in order to define and eventually achieve what they were aiming for.

TITLE: The Woman Question. DESCRIPTION: Marija Kumičić (1863-1945) was a Croatian writer and member of numerous patriotic and women’s associations. The booklet is entirely devoted to the woman question, and it is published in 1906 by Hrvatska Čitaonica (the Croatian Reading Room) in Zagreb. It presents a conservative view on women’s position in society, explicitly posited against the "modern current" that opened up the woman question as the issue of equality. The author refers to the divine law that gave women their primary role of being mothersand educating children’s minds and hearts. She laments the loss of traditional values and ideals and is against the modern view that promotes equality between men and women in all areas. For Kumičić, women who entered professions are not free, since in the contemporary world everyone is slave to duty, while the “modern freedom” often work against morality and required modesty. The most important question in society is the national one. Even without the voting rights, women often vote through their husbands, Kumičić finds, even blaming women for votes against national interests. They are often motivated by vanity and influenced by the world of foreign fashion, promoted by the popular press from Berlin, Vienna and Paris. The text finishes by evoking Jelena Šubić, mother of the national hero Nikola Šubić-Zrinjski, as an ideal woman active in the struggle for national independence, but also a foreign woman, Croatian queen Jelena (Helena, Ilona), sister of Hungarian King Ladislaus I. who abolished Croatia’s sovereignty. Marija Kumičić (née Maršić) was the wife of Eugen Kumičić (1850-1904), an influential Croatian writer and politician. She wrote political and social articles, poems, novels and short stories, translated novels and worked as the editor of literary supplement to the fashion magazine Modnisvijet. Through her husband, Marija Kumičić was in close relations with the Croatian politician Ante Starčević, the founder of the modern Croatian nationalism, influenced by political liberalism. Socially, however, she espoused conservatism and blamed the importing of the woman question to the "modern stream", foreign to Croatian nation. Characteristically for her conservative views, the author remained silent about women from other parts of the Empire and Europe, preferring the simple narrative of the struggle for Croatian national independence, narrowly focused on national history and its plight. Later, in the kingdom of Yugoslavia, Kumičić will act as the president of Hrvatskažena (Croatian woman, 1921-1943), the main nationalist women’s organization opposed to the common Yugoslav state and standing outside of Yugoslav umbrella women’s organizations. She remained active in the fascist, puppet “Independent state of Croatia” during the Second World War.
