TITLE: Opening Speech Given by Mrs. Maria B. Baiulescu, President of the Union of Romanian Women in Brasov to the Ist Congress of the Women's Reunions held in Brasov between 3-5 June 1913. DESCRIPTION: Typed draft of speech by Maria Baiulescu on the occasion of the first congress of the Union of Romanian Women in Hungary. Maria Baiulescu (1860-1941) was an author, Romanian nationalist and civic organizer. She was the president of the Reunion of Romanian Women in Brasov/Brasso/Kronstadt (1908-1935), the President of the Union of Romanian Women (a federation of Transylvanian women’s associations) (1913-1935), and leader of ASTRA association’s Biopolitical Section, founded in 1927. A supporter of women’s social involvement, she advocated what has been termed “republican motherhood,” which focused on women’s roles as nurturers and educators of the nation. See, Krassimira Daskalova, Anna Loutfi, and Francisca de Haan, A Biographical Dictionary of Women’s Movements and Feminisms: Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe, 19th and 20th Centuries (Budapest: Central European University Press, 2006), 48-50. Baiulescu’s personal archives are housed by the "George Baritiu" County Library Brasov (Romania), Special Collections Unit. The Union of Romanian Women reunited approximatively half of the 60 independent Romanian women’s “Reunions” that had appeared in Transylvania since the 1850s. ¶ The speech laid out the purpose of a Union with “centralized power” to direct the activities of the adhering women’s Reunions in Hungary. The document also argued that the Union would direct the activities of women’s Reunions that would form in the future. The goals of the Union outlined by Baiulescu were promoting girls’ education, preserving peasant women’s handicraft traditions, raising “hardworking and thrifty wives and mothers,” promoting charitability among women, and creating a unified orphanage. Finally, according to Baiulescu, “through her disinterested social work woman is becoming an important factor even in states’ lives as only she is capable to resolve somewhat the humanitarian problem.” At first sight, the speech reaffirms and unifies the existing areas of activity of the Union’s members and places them within the politically uncontroversial frame of “republican motherhood.” However, concerning the context of this speech, the Romanian Women’s Union founding congress was scheduled to coincide with the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) Congress in Budapest (3-5 June 1913). Whereas Saxon and Hungarian women’s associations in Transylvania were visible participants at the IWSA Congress, the newly-formed Union abstained from organized participation. The abstention was due to a “silenced or veiled” (but, nevertheless, present) suffrage politics pursued by the Transylvanian Romanian women’s movement in Hungary, one that may have been carried aut through the Romanian National Party’s advocating universal suffrage in the Hungarian Parliament, largely because of governemntal restrictions against minorities associational life in the Kingdom of Hungary ¶ This document points to the existence of the Union of Romanian Women in Hungary and the tendencies towards centralization of disparate women’s associations, occurring by the 1910s. Secondly, Baiulescu’s speech reveals the rhetoric that masked the transnational connections and internationally convergent politics some politically-minded Transylvanian Romanian women, although, perhaps, not Maria Baiulescu herself, were pursuing at the time.

TITLE: Report on the Hungarian National Women’s Industry Expo of 1881. DESCRIPTION: Published under the auspices of the Hungarian Ministry of agriculture, industry and commerce, the volume reviews the exhibited material and evaluates it based upon functional and aesthetic criteria. The expo was organised by the National Association of Women’s Industry (Országos Nőiparegylet), founded in 1872/1873. The forty thousand exhibits fell into four distinct categories as to their origins: cottage-industry products from rural areas (homespun textiles and embroideries from the Székelyföld/Secuimea and the Szepesség/Spiš/Zips/Spisz regions, rugs from the Southern Torontál and laces from the Slovak-speaking Zólyom Counties etc.), small-factory goods, specimens from handicraft classes at girls’ schools and from industrial schools for girls and the work of hobbyists. Giving details about the circumstances, curricula and profile of many industrial schools for girls, and the variety of women’s industrious and industrial production, all over the country, the report paints a vivid and inclusive picture of women’s training and involvement in home industrial and industrious activities in Hungary at the time. The author of the report, Mór Gelléri (1854-1915), a well-known promoter of the industrial development of Hungary, also reflects in some detail on women’s work and the tasks of women’s industrial schools in general. “Female work is not new. It came into being together with the woman”, yet has been gaining additional importance and meaning because of the key role work plays in the modern economy. Finally, Gelléri gives a detailed account of the activities and institutions of the National Association which promoted the teaching of arts and crafts to girls throughout Hungary, to provide livelihood especially to single women and with the hope of denting the monopoly of Czech, Moravian and Austrian products on the Hungarian market. The popularity of needlework was demonstrated by the ubiquity of private courses, but handicraft classes went beyond needlework and also included lace-making, machine knitting, straw plaiting, wickerwork and artificial flower making. Industrial schools for girls, chiefly teaching handicraft, already existed in nine cities and were maintained partly by the National Association and partly by local associations, while a school in Preßburg/Pozsony/Bratislava had been training handicraft teachers since 1875 and ran workshops in several further localities.

TITLE: Questionaire (18 items filled in). DESCRIPTION: During World War I, the National Organizational Committee of the Woman Workers of Hungary (Magyarországi nőmunkások országos szervezőbizottsága) distributed a questionnaire into which woman workers from different factories filled data about their condition. Between 1912 and 1916, the National Organizational Committee was the central organizing body of the socialist women’s movement associated with the Social-democratic Party of Hungary (Magyarországi Szociáldemokrata Párt, MSZDP). Earlier, the National Association of Woman Workers in Hungary [Magyarországi Munkásnők Országos Egyesülete], est. 1904, had been the key organization. While co-existing with the National Organizational Committee, the Association was marginalized in later years. The 18 women (age 15 to 29) who filled in the questionnaire gave information about the factories in which they worked (electrical, tobacco, armaments), whether they did the night shift (many did, a number of them saying that this depended on the needs of the factory), their weekly salary (15 to 34 Crowns), working time (from 6 to more than 11 hours), length and type of travel to the work place (for some up to two hours), whether they had worked before the war, why they worked, their marital status and the number and age of their children, whether they carried their own household or with whom they stayed, who was looking after their children when they worked, how many individuals they supported with their income (two women supported only themselves, the others up to 8 family members), and what they ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The questionnaire was “to be filled in with pencil.” On one item, the year 1917 is given. Nearly all women had close male family members drawn into the Austro-Hungarian army, some said they worked because they couldn’t subsist from the [war time] relief money they received. Two women said that she entrusted her children “to God” or the “good God” while at work. The diet of the women included black coffee or nothing for breakfast and, for instance, “spurious soup,” bread with paprika or “empty vegetables” for lunch, otherwise the diet was restricted to potatoes, cabbage, beans, etc. See also, “Sátoraljaujhely dohánygyár: dolgozik 1300 nő [Sátoraljaújhely: Tobacco Factory in Sátoraljaújhely, In Work 1300 Women]” (Report, Sátoraljaújhely, 1915), 696. f. 68. ő.e., Politikatörténeti Intézet Levéltára [Institute of Poitical History, Archives]; and “Valamit tenni kell! [Something must be done!]” (Itinerary, Hungary, 1915), 696. f. 68. ő.e., Politikatörténeti Intézet Levéltára [Institute of Poitical History, Archives]. These three documents, taken together, constitute a small group of records which document how the social democratic women’s movement during World War tried to reach out to and mobilize woman workers.
