Title: Letter to Elsa Grailich, 2 July 1908. Description: The writer of the letter is Auguste Fickert (1855–1910). She was a school teacher in Vienna and an active member of the Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women's Association], one of the rather radical organisations of the Austrian bourgeois women's movements in terms of their political demands. The Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women's Association] committed to women's labor and employment and campaigned for improvements of proletarian women's lives. Fickert cooperated with proletarian organizations in campaigns and was active in the women's suffrage movement. Her first public political act was to organize a petition against the disfranchisement of women voters in government elections in Lower Austria. In 1899, she co-founded the journal of the General Austrian Women's Association, Dokumente der Frauen [Documents of Women], which is available full-text online through the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek’s AustriaN Newspapers Online (ANNO) [See: http://anno.onb.ac.at/]. The letter was addressed to Elsa Grailich (1880–1969). Grailich was a journalist and poet in Pressburg (Pozsony, Bratislava, in the Hungarian Kingdom, today Slovakia). She was active in the social-democratic movement and was engaged for better education and women's rights. In the Handschriftensammlung [Manuscript Department] of the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus [Vienna City Library], there are only the letters from Fickert to Grailich available. The answer letters from Grailich to Fickert are not part of the collection. In the letter from 2 July 1908, Fickert raises the attention of Grailich to an upcoming congress in London. In April 1909, the congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) took place in London. Fickert mentions that she would like to go, but she indicates that her financial situation would not allow to travel to the congress. Fickert asks Grailich, whether she would contribute to a questionnaire on education. This letter is one of several from Fickert to Grailich included in this digital archive.

TITLE: The Daily Svornost [Concord] to Božena Viková-Kunětická, Chicago, June 8, 1912. DESCRIPTION: The Daily Svornost [The Daily Concord] was the first Czech journal in Chicago, founded in 1875. Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) was a Czech speaking writer and nationalist politician. In 1912, she was elected a deputy to the Bohemian Provincial Diet, the first elected woman deputy in the Habsburg Monarchy. The curial electoral system to the Diet, in use since 1861, was based on tax and property qualifications and thus excluded a major part of the citizens on the basis of class. At the same time the regulations pertaining to the Bohemian Diet used gender neutral terms – some women thus were not deprived from the right to vote to the Diet, some were not explicitly excluded from the passive electoral right. The publisher of the Daily Svornost congratulates the Czech writer Božena Viková-Kunětická to her victory in the election and asks her to send a message to the “Czech America.” KEYWORDS: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Habsburg Empire; Cisleithania; Bohemia

TITLE: Details: Answer of Czech Women Hungarian Women. DESCRIPTION: Dennica was the first Slovak women’s journal, founded in 1898. The journal was founded and edited by Terésia Vansová (1857-1942), Slovak writer and a leading women’s activist. The short note informs about Božena Viková-Kunětická’s boycott of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) in Budapest in 1913. Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) was a Czech speaking writer elected to the Bohemian Provincial (crown land) Diet in 1912. She was the first woman elected to the (regional) parliament in the Habsburg Monarchy. In 1913, she refused to attend the IWSA congress in Budapest after she hadn’t been allowed to give her speech in Czech or Slovak language – which were not the official languages of the Congress – and after her proposition to include the protest against the situation of the Slovak nation in Hungary into the official program of the congress hadn’t been taken into account by the organizers. See also, Božena Viková-Kunětická, “Discours de Mme le deputé Božena Viková-Kunětická sur les femmes et les petites natitions, prononcé à la réunion le 9 juin 1913 à Prague [Speech by Mme. Božena Viková-Kunětická on Women and Small Nations, delivered at the meeting on 9 June 1913 in Prague]” (Speech, Praha [Prague], 1913), Fond Viková-Kunětická Božena, 59/55, folder výstřižky – články otištěné v různých časopisech a novinách z let 1913-1931, Památník národního písemnictví, Literární archiv. Cooperation between Slovak and Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) women, and the topos of Slovak-Czech brotherhood and sisterhood transcended the separation of these nationalities speaking Slavic languages within the Habsburg Monarchy. The Czech lands belonged to Austria (Cisleithania) while the Slovakian lands belonged to Hungary. Austria and Hungary formed the two constitutive parts of the Habsburg Monarchy, each of which was in charge of its own domestic politics.

TITLE: Františka Plamínková to Carrie Chapman Catt, 1909. DESCRIPTION: Františka Plamínková (1875-1942) was the leader of the Czech speaking women’s suffrage movement in Bohemia. Bohemia was a crown land of Austria (Cisleithania). Plamínková led Výbor pro volební právo žen [Committee for Women's Voting Rights], which she had cofounded in 1905. It was a group of women which since the end of 1905 coordinated the activities of the Czech speaking women for women’s suffrage in Bohemia. In the letter, Plamínková informs the president of International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA, Carrie Chapman Catt (1859-1947) that the Committee for Women’s Voting Rights will send its member, the teacher Marie Tůmová, to the forthcoming by-election to the Czech Provincial Diet. The curial electoral system to the Diet, in use since 1861, was based on tax and property qualifications and thus excluded a major part of the citizens on the basis of class. At the same time the regulations pertaining to the Bohemian Diet used gender neutral terms – some women thus were not deprived from the right to vote to the Diet, some were not explicitly excluded from the passive electoral right. The letter also deals with the formalities concerning upcoming visit of Chapman Catt in Prague. The visit took place at the end of March 1909. See also, “Pozvání na veřejnou schůzi konanou 25. 3. 1909 u příležitosti návštěvy C. Chapman-Catt v Praze [Invitation to the public meeting held in Prague March 25, 1909 on the occasion of the visit of C. Chapmann-Catt]” (Flyer, Praha [Prague], 1909), fond Ženský klub český – Praha [The Czech Women’s Club – Prague], access. no. 22/75, in. no. 1477, Památník národního písemnictví, Literární archiv [Memorial of National Literature, Literary Archives].

TITLE: On the International Conference of Socialist Women. DESCRIPTION: Ženský list [Women's Paper] was a women's journal linked to Českoslovanská sociálně demokratická strana dělnická [the Czechoslavonic Social Democratic Workers' Party]. Since 1901, it was edited by Karla Máchová – the main representative of the Czech-speaking social democratic women's movement in Bohemia. The author is most likely the editor of the journal Karla Máchová (1853-1920), one of the delegates from Bohemia at the International Conference of Socialist Women in Stuttgart in 1907 (the second one was Anna Steinerová). The text gives information in its goals, delegates and agenda. On the conference, see also the series of articles titled “První mezinárodní konference socialistických žen [The First International Conference of Socialist Women],” also published in Ženský list [Women’s Paper].

TITLE: Congress in Budapest. DESCRIPTION: This article is one of a series of the same title in the periodical, Právo ženy [Woman’s Right]. This journal was a women’s newspaper written in Czech language and published in Brno, the centre of the region Moravia, between 1911 and 1913. Moravia was a crown land of Austria (Cisleithania). The newspaper focused on the question of women’s political rights. Its editor was Zdenka Wiedermanová-Motyčková (1868-1915), teacher and founder of liberal feminist association Zemská organizace pokrokových žen na Moravě [Provincial Association of Progressive Women in Moravia]. The series of articles captured the atmosphere in Budapest during the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliances (IWSA) and dealt with the congress in detail, describing the events day after day, presenting speeches of selected delegates, and praising the hospitality and organization of the Hungarian hosts. The author (most likely delegate, Zdenka Wiedermanová-Motyčková) speaks about the hierarchies within the transnational women’s suffrage movement. According to her, Slavs are overshadowed in the movement. She criticizes the dominance of English and the role of the religion in the congress (the fact it was open by worship). She explains the reasons of the boycott of the congress by Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) (Czech speaking writer elected to the Bohemian regional parliament in 1912). She summarises the speeches of the Czech speaking delegates; these put the question of suffrage to the national frame – present Czech nation as progressive one, describe equality of woman and man as part of the Czech historical tradition and in the same time criticise Hungarian treatment of Slovaks in Hungary.
