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.

TITLE: The People to Itself. DESCRIPTION: Zofka Kveder (1878-1926) was a writer, playwright, journalist and feminist activist who published in the Slovene and Croatian languages. The document is an editorial in the journal Ženskisvijet (Women’s world), published in Zagreb in 1918. The author discusses the action of Središnjizemaljskiodborzazaštituporodicamobiliziranihi u ratupoginulihvojnikaiz Kraljevine Hrvatskei Slavonije (the Central land committee for protection of families of mobilized and killed soldiers from the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, established by the Governor’s decree in September 1914), by which more than 15,000 children from Istria, Adriatic islands, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Dalmatia at the risk of hunger were placed to agriculturally richer regions of Croatia and Slavonia. At the same time, Hungary announced the placement of 20,000 children to summer camps on the Adriatic. Kveder detects the injustice of providing for such a huge number of children and sending them to the region where hungry children are relocated from. "Our" and "foreign" children and "our" and "foreign" seaside are terms emphasized in the text, implying that Croatian people has more "rights" to the Adriatic seaside, although one part of it was within the Hungarian half of the Empire. The author provides data about the financial support for various humanitarian purposes within the Kingdom of Hungary (war orphans, clothing, tuberculosis) and in the Czech lands, and advocates for greater financial contribution to charity by the domestic (Croatian) rich classes. The text provides the sense of being neglected within the imperial setting, and the resentment towards Hungarians, on the eve of the Empire’s dissolution. Keywords: Women and Practices of Empire; Peace and War, International Governance, and International Law; War; Social Reform and Political Activism; Welfare Movements; Child Protection; Habsburg Empire

TITLE: National Organization and Women. DESCRIPTION: Zofka Kveder (1878-1926)was a writer, playwright, journalist and feminist activist who published in the Slovene and Croatian languages. The document is the editorial of the journal Ženskisvijet (Women’s world), published in Zagreb in 1918, the fourth year of the World War I. Within the chaos and misery of war, the author identifies the political activation of Yugoslav women as one of the rare positive developments. Slovene, Croatian and Serbian women matured to conscious citizens working at the benefit of the nation. Inspired by the election of the first female deputy, Božena Viková-Kuněticka in the Czech lands, Kveder presents political actions in various parts of the country. In Slovenia, women had voting rights in local elections in Ljubljana since 1910, Alojzija Štebi became the member of the presidency of Jugoslovanskasocialdemokratskastranka (Jugoslav Social-Democratic Party) and the main editor of the journals Naprej and Demokracija, other women were co-editors of various political journals. In Croatia, Dalmatia, Istria and Bosnia, women are increasingly involved in humanitarian work, which Kveder sees as the best school for political education. Supporting the imminent Yugoslav unification, Kveder looks forward to the future where more women would be politically active.
