TITLE: The Mothers and the War, ca. 1916. DESCRIPTION: Typescript kept in the papers of Mrs. Oszkár Szirmai (born Irma Reinitz, 1867-1958), leader of the child and motherhood protection division of the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the leading liberal-progressive women’s organization in Hungary at the time. The manuscript was written likely by Mrs. Szirmai during World War I. Szirmai makes a case for universal suffrage for women and men as well as other changes that must be pressed home after the war. These changes must come since they are justified by the engagement of women and men with the war time tasks and burdens, and because the fact that the misery of war had come upon humanity had been made “possible” through a system “without” suffrage. The war is described as a consequence of “male domination/patriarchy (Männerherrschaft).” Women demand suffrage not with reference to their suffering but “in the interest of the community (Allgemeinheit).”. Particular groups of women, amongst them mothers and housewives, will all make their distinct contribution to avoid further wars once endowed with the rights they deserve. Women need to have a say in the preparation of social policy legislature, and the state needs women’s influence for a number of further purposes and in various ways. Szirmai stresses in particular the role of mothers and motherhood as she makes her case for women’s suffrage. The text repeatedly refers to suffrage as “citizenship (Bürgerrecht)” for women.
