This extensive text includes both the transcribed proceedings of the meeting of the Tenth International Congress of Women in Paris as well as formal essays included by conference participants. The conference itself met over a period of several days, with themes and topics dispersed throughout various days’ sessions, but the formal presentations appear thematically in the tome. The first topic explored is women’s roles in public and private charities, with two essays focusing respectively on women’s participation in private charities internationally in the ten years preceding the meeting and recent improvements made to workers’ housing. The theme of hygiene comprises the conference’s second major theme, with two formal presentations on women’s roles combating alcoholism and tuberculosis. Third is the topic of education and essay topics here explore character education, how different countries have used education to respond to contemporary anxieties, and how to protect youth from moral corruption found in magazines, plays, images, and public events. The fourth major theme is law and legislation, and authors in this domain questioned the legal rights of women vis-à-vis their husbands as well as the civic capacity of married women in various national contexts. Questions concerning women’s right to work comprised the fifth major theme; protective labor laws for women’s work and a discussion of a minimum wage for women supplemented this topic. The sixth topic addressed by the Congress was women’s suffrage, including discussions on married women’s nationality and women’s moral influence as voters. The conference’s major themes conclude with examinations of female university students, possibilities open for women desiring careers, and the role of women in pacifism and in international conflict resolution. The text ends with a transcript of the conference’s closing sessions, as well as adopted resolutions and a helpful index outlining the contributions of all participants.

TITLE: The Feminists, in _Village Chronicle_. DESCRIPTION: In this chapter of his book, Péter Veres (born 1897, Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, died 1970), writer, peasant politician and later on state-socialist politician, gives a document-based account of the history of a group of politically active peasant women under the leadership of Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth. Veres relates that on Ascension Day 1908, the National Agriculture Party (Országos Földmívelő Párt), a left-wing peasant party, and the “local women” (helyi asszonyok) invited Róza Schwimmer (1877-1948) to a women’s meeting in Balmazújváros. Róza Schwimmer was a key representative of the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the leading progressive-liberal women’s organization in Hungary at the time. (According to Schwimmer, a women’s organization had been founded in Balmazújváros on April 8, 1908). Upon Christmas 1908, a leaflet was available: the cover page gave the party program, while the reverse side gave Mrs. Bordás’ proclamation, which ponders why nobody asks questions about women’s inclusion when peasant women who do all the hard, agricultural work side by side with men. Veres in his chapter makes sure to repeatedly differentiate between the approach, language, and demands of the “feminists” as opposed to the peasant women, underlining that the latter were engaged with bread and butter issues too. He directly quotes their complaint that the Magyars suffer from high taxes while “the border is full with” Slovakian, Ukrainian, Romanian and Palóc-Hungarian agricultural contract workers. ¶ The women from Balmazújváros attracted international attention. Mrs. István Bordás, Julis (Julia) Bak, Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. András Juhász Ilona Pénzes, Mrs. Bálint Gém and Mrs. József Deli (these are the names Veres gives) traveled to Budapest in 1913 and participated in the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA in the Hungarian capital city and related formal events. In 1917, two women from Balmazújváros, Mrs. Péter Szeifert Julcsa (Júlia) Pokrócz and Mrs. Imre Béke, participated in a suffrage delegation of the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), which was received by the Hungarian Prime minister István Tisza. Veres recounts the experiences of the women from Balmazújváros in 1913 and 1917 in colorful detail. ¶ This digital archive includes a set of dated letters from the women of Balmazújváros to the Feminist Association from the beginning in 1908 through 1918, as well as undated letters, which can be assumed to have been written before the end of the Habsburg Monarchy. See, the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. Of note, the journal of the Feminist Association, titled A nő és a társadalom [Women and Society], is available full text online elsewhere. It repeatedly reports about the women from Balmazújváros. Parts of Péter Veres’s account directly build on these reports.

TITLE: Statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina. DESCRIPTION: This article discusses a statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), created during the general assembly of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) from Novi Sad in February 1902, and signed by Arkadije Varađanin, secretary, and Julka Radovanović, principal. 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 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 editor of Ženski svetwas Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. The article reports that the alliance is established in the form of cooperative and the statute has 30 clauses. The clauses define the goals of the alliance with regard to the realms of charitable, educational and economic work. The goals include: to establish new Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women; to collect money in case of floods or fire “in our country or outside of it”; to assist the “Red Cross” society in case of war in the “fatherland” or “other areas where Serbian people live”; to build shelters for orphans and old people; to establish schools for children where they would be trained to be good, hardworking and develop proper morals; to help prepare good and honest domestic tutors and teachers for better-off Serbian households; to establish schools for women’s handicraft and places where these products would be sold; to teach the members to be frugal in order to have a good and progressive household. The alliance has a common budget. The direction of the alliance is set in Novi Sad. The official language of the alliance is Serbian, and the Cyrillic the official alphabet. For the report on the first meeting of representatives of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women, published in Ženski svet in June 1902, see “Prva skupština Saveza Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja [The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women],” Ženski svet, January 6, 1902.
