TITLE: Yearbook of the Reunion of Romanian Women for the years 1914-1915 and 1915-1916. DESCRIPTION: This document is the yearbook for the 1914-1915 period, by the Reuniunea Femeilor Române / Reunion of Romanian Women in Sibiu/ Hermannstadt/Nagyszeben. The Reunion was founded in 1880. It opened a Romanian-language, private, elementary school for girls in 1883. In 1905/1906 the Reunion inaugurated a “School for home economy and industry.” It reorganized this school in 1911, by dividing it into sections for training in industrial and housekeeping work but closed it in 1914. For more on the school, see Reuniunea Femeilor Romane Sibiu, Anuarul Reuniunii Femeilor din Sibiu pe anii 1911-1912 [The Yearbook of the Women’s Meeting in Sibiu for the Years 1911-1912] (Sibiu: Tiparul Tipografia Arhidiecezane, 1912). After the beginning of the Great War, the Sibiu Reunion volunteered to care for the Austro-Hungarian Army’s wounded by creating a “reserve hospital” in the training school’s building. In 1919, Queen Marie of Romania (1875-1938) became patron of the Reunion’s reopened School for Housekeeping and Industry. In the years that followed, the Sibiu Reunion was a significant participant in the federative Union of Romanian Women, initiated by Maria Baiulescu. ¶ The Yearbook offers information on the activities of the Sibiu Reunion of Romanian Women between 1914 and 1916. According to the administrative documents reproduced in the yearbook (meeting minutes, budgets, annual report), the “reserve hospital” cared for “264 wounded soldiers, by origin from the different countries of our Monarchy.” In 1915, the Reunion hospital and its initiators were commended by the visiting Archduke Franz Salvator of Austria (1866-1939), a promoter of the Red Cross in Austria-Hungary. In 1916, the Reunion closed its hospital, arguing that it was no longer sent any wounded to care for. Valeria Soroștineanu has shown that the situation of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt and its inhabitants during the second half of the war was complicated: when the Kingdom of Romania joined the war in 1916, on the side of the Entente, the city was quickly surrounded by the neighboring country’s troops, with most civilians fleeing the area. The members of the Reunion remaining in the (still Austro-Hungarian) city of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt drastically reduced their social involvement, due to the “heavy atmosphere” and the weight of familial concerns. The Reunion re-emerged in late 1918 to welcome Romanian troops to the city and host a reception in honor of the Romanian-allied French General Henri Berthelot (1861-1931). For more on this, see Reuniunea Femeilor Romane Sibiu, Anuarul Reuniunii Femeilor din Sibiu pe anii 1911-1912 [The Yearbook of the Women’s Meeting in Sibiu for the Years 1911-1912] (Sibiu: Tiparul Tipografia Arhidiecezane, 1912). ¶ By covering the first years of the Great War, the yearbook helps us understand the transition undergone by the Sibiu Reunion, and to a certain extent, all women’s Reunions in Transylvania. Until 1916, the Reunion behaved largely like an Austro-Hungarian association of pragmatic, nationalistic Romanian women and was considered a significant part of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt’s municipal associational fabric. After 1918, the organization presented itself and was recognized as primarily, ardently nationalistic. This yearbook helps reconstruct the evolution of Transylvanian Romanian women’s associations in the years right before, during and immediately after the Great War. In a broader sense, it contributes to comprehending the transformation of “empire” into “post-empire,” for the case of the Dual Monarchy. KEYWORDS: Peace and War, International Governance, and International Law; War; War-time welfare; 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; Women and National Languages; National Identity; Empire Silenced; Social Reform and Political Activism; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control, and Health; Women as Medical Professionals; Habsburg Empire; Funds and donations; Municipal activism; Archduke Franz Salvator, Archduke of Austria, Prince of Tuscany; Princess Marie of Edinburgh, Queen Marie of Romania.

TITLE: Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association between 1912–1932, on the Occasion of its Seventy-Year Jubilee. DESCRIPTION: Clothilde Dähn (1867-1932) describes the history of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association (Augustan Confession) (Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenverein A.B.) beginning from 1912. For an earlier history, see Richard Alberti, Jahresbericht über die Tätigkeit des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B. im Jahre 1910 (49. Vereinsjahr) [Yearly Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association for 1910 (Forty-Ninth Year)] (Bistriz: Verlag des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B., 1911). Yearly reports had not been published since 1915. Dähn became second president of the Association in 1910 and was its president between 1914 and 1932. The association was started as a local initiative in 1862. By 1910, the Bistritz/Bistrița/Beszterce Evangelical Women’s Association operated as the local chapter of the General Women’s Association of the Transylvanian Evangelical Church (Augustan Confession) (Allgemeiner Frauenverein der evangelischen Landeskirche A.B. in Siebenbürgen). The General Association was founded in 1884, a move which was aimed at unifying associations of Lutheran women under the Transylvanian Evangelical Church. The Transylvanian Evangelical Church enjoyed far-reaching autonomy within the Hungarian Kingdom after the Austro-Hungarian “Compromise” of 1867. It functioned as the key institution of the self-government of the German-speaking Saxon population of Transylvania, Hungary. The Bistritz Association was one of many local associations of Lutheran women in Transylvania. The association had run a kindergarten since 1886, a medical care centre (Krankenpflegeanstalt) since 1898, a soup kitchen since 1911, and an orphanage since 1914. The surge of enthusiasm at the outbreak of the Great War drove members to exchange six thousand crown worth of golden jewelry for iron rings in the Central Powers’ military fundraising programme, “I Gave Gold for Iron.” With the war wearing on, they participated in the effort by knitting woolen clothing for soldiers in the front lines and by supporting families left behind. The brochure gives detailed information on functionaries, members, and donations. KEYWORDS: Peace and War, International Governance and International Law; War; Women’s Participation in War Effort; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Child Care; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control and Health; Women as Medical Professionals; Habsburg Empire; War bonds; Funds and Donations; World War I
