TITLE: The Force of Fate in the Advertisement Section. DESCRIPTION: Typescript kept in the papers of Mrs. Oszkár Szirmai (born Irma Reinitz, 1867-1958), leader of the child protection division of the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the leading liberal-progressive women’s organization in Hungary at the time. The typescript was written likely by Mrs. Szirmai. The text relates that the child and motherhood protection division of the feminist association has submitted a petition to the office (Kabinettskanzlei) of His Majesty (Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary Francis Joseph), and in parallel to the responsible ministry, demanding that the King make use of his right of royal mercy to legitimize all children whose fathers – before the war wedding could have taken place –died the hero’s death as soldiers in the Austrian-Hungarian army, or are lost without trace so that they cannot give voice to their intention. The demand is in tune, the text argues, with the fact that war time relief measures have not differentiated between children born in or out of wedlock, and if granted it will not generate additional cost since the state-led child protection system doesn’t differentiate between these two groups of children anyway.
