TITLE: Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the First Women's Cooperative in Novi Sad. DESCRIPTION: This is an unsigned report about the 40-year celebration of a women’s organization in Novi Sad which in this document, as well as in other documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina, is regularly described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad (Ujvidék), 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. The text 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 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 author of the text reports that the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad had been established by a Serbian woman, Savka Subotić(1834-1918), but that it has become “a purely Hungarian institution” since, just like many other institutions which had been established by the Serbs but have ended up serving “foreign interests.” One of the messages of the text is an advice to “us Serbs” to never cooperate with the “foreign element,” because the Serbs in that case end up being invisible. The texts reports that during the celebration in 1907, Savka Subotić was elected an honorary president of the association – the association is not named here but referred to as “the first local women’s association” – in order to pay her respect.The author mentions that the spokesperson during the celebration did not mention that Subotić had been the one who had established the cooperative 40 years earlier, and complains that the documents about the establishment of the organization “had certainly been destroyed.” Finally, the author reports that on the occasion of the celebration Savka Subotić held a speech in German and was in the center of attention of “all our foreign-speaking fellow citizens” (most probably meaning here specifically Hungarians and Germans). In the evening, there was a party and “our Serbs” attended the party as well. See also, “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904. KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions in Empire; Women’s Cooperative; Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Nation-Building; Women and Relationship Between Nations in the Empire; Women and Struggle Between Nations in the Empire; National Identity; Empire and Feminism; Empire Silenced; Social Reform and Political Activism; Multi-Ethnic Participation in Social Movements; Political and Human Rights; Nationality Rights; Social and Cultural Rights; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Vojvodina; Novi Sad; Serbia; Hungary; Savka Subotić; Ženski svet

This text outlines the proceedings of the International Feminist Congress held in Brussels, in the summer of 1897. The international group focused on five major themes: women’s civic rights; the nature of patriarchy; women’s economic rights; the status of the feminist movement; and women and public charity. In the discussion on women’s civic rights, a number of speakers addressed concerns brought forth by a new German civic code with attention also given to English and Russian women’s civic status. The second session, which investigated men’s social and biological roles, questioned the degree to which male privilege is socially constructed. In the discussion of women’s economic rights, many speakers linked the idea of economic independence with the goals of feminism––itself a topic elaborated upon in the Congress’s fourth session. The fifth and final session looked at women’s participation in charitable organizations, and hypothesized on how to make women’s public work in this arena more socially palatable.

Title: The General Meeting of the Association for the Year 1936. Description: Manuscript of report of the activity of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) for the year 1936, presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the organization, at the AECPFR Congress from March 29, 1937. The document is important in that it gives a better idea on the structure of the organization after almost 20 years of activity. Also, it does testify once again the integralist approach of these feminists towards the achievement of full civil and political rights for women although the hostile political environment did not bear the promise of the achievement of these rights any sooner. The report contains also information on the issues discussed at the meetings of the organization – the document provides short accounts of the main speeches held at the meetings of the organization. Keywords: Feminism, politics, women’s emancipation, political rights, civil rights, structure, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women
