Title: Catalogue for the Exhibition of Austrian Women's Work: World Exhibition 1873 in Vienna. Description: The document is a catalogue published on the occasion of the Vienna World Exhibition of 1873. The catalogue gives an introduction on women's work and is followed by a list of producers and goods, which were crafted by women. One pavilion of the Vienna World Exhibition was devoted exclusively to women's work in the Habsburg Monarchy.

In advance of the exhibition, commissions in Vienna, Ragusa, Graz, Görtz, Innsbruck, Bolzano, Brno, Olomouc, Opava (Troppau), Krakow, Chernivtsi, Trieste, Ljubljana collected 3,216 “female,” hand-craft products and industrial manufacturing products. A selection of this collection was presented in the pavilion devoted to women's work. As mentioned by Aglaia von Enderes in the introduction, the exhibition of women's art and craft served the purpose to visualise and raise attention on the work of women. The author of catalogue, Aglaia von Enderes (1834–1883) was a writer and active in the Wiener Frauen-Erwerb-Verein [Viennese Women's Acquisition Association]. She wrote several articles in the journal Politische Frauen-Zeitung [Political Women Journal] about the Viennese Women's Acquisition Association.

TITLE: Part IV: On the Exhibition in Paris, in _On our National Textiles and Handicrafts_. DESCRIPTION: This document consists of selected parts of Savka Subotić’s booklet, On our National Textiles and Handicrafts (O našim narodnim tkaninama i rukotvorinama), published in 1904 in Novi Sad (Újvidék). Savka Subotić in the booklet narrates the history of her work and endeavors in promoting the female handicraft industry. Over the course of more than forty years, she was active in modernizing and promoting Serbian peasant women’s handicraft. Savka Subotić was active in the women's movement in the Vojvodina and also in Serbia and internationally. 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. Subotić was educated in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Timișoara (Temesvár, Temeswar) and Vienna. Her main focus was the education of girls, especially Serbian girls; Subotić initiated the establishment of the first Serbian language high schools for girls, established in Novi Sad, Vojvodina and Pančevo (Pancsova), military frontier/Vojvodina in 1874 and in Sombor (Zombor), Vojvodina in 1875. See also, Milica Tomić, “Naše više devojačke škole [Our high schools for girls],” Žena, January 6, 1911; and “Srpska Viša Devojačka Škola u Novom Sadu [The Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, August 1913. In addition, Subotić was active in educating Serbian women in the countryside, and created a program of economic development for women who lived in the villages by popularizing and building the handicraft industry of the time. In 1867, Subotić established a women’s organization in Novi Sad (Ujvidék), the Vojvodina, which in documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina is regularly described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. See “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904. Subotić was a respected member of the Serbian community, but also well known in Austria-Hungary and the international women’s movement. ¶ This document includes Part IV of Subotić’s booklet: Part IV: About the exhibition in Paris (79-95). In Part IV, Subotić talks about the correspondence concerning the Exposition Universelle held in Paris in 1900. She also discusses the connections with the Serbs from Belgrade, and her travels to Niš and Pirot, Serbia, since Serbia was also planning to present on the Paris exhibition. She describes the differences between the national embroidery of Serbian women in the Vojvodina and the produce made by women from Serbia. Subotić argues that the Serbian “intelligentsia” must not try to imitate the common people and should not continue attempting to come up with the new patterns for new embroidery. On the contrary, the task of the “intelligentsia” is to find ways to help “the people (narodu)” to develop their acknowledged ability. She compares these attempts with writers who in their novels mimic the speech of the peasants. She ends the text with a comment on the Serbian peasant women, arguing that amongst all Serbian women only peasant women earn money for their families. She adds that apart from the regular house and family duties, these women also work with men in the fields, a fact that she presents as “emancipation.” In fact, she claims, Serbian women contribute more to their households than their husbands, and their handicraft is the proof of their intelligence. For Parts I and II, see Savka Subotić, “Part I and Part II [Part I: First Attempts of My Work in the Field of our National Domestic Industry, and Part II: On the Exhibitions in Pest and in Novi Sad],” in O našim narodnim tkaninama i rukotvorinama [On our national textiles and handicrafts] (Novi Sad, 1904), 1–55 (55pp.).

See “Savka Subotićka. 1834-1904. [Savka Subotić: 1834-1904],” Ženski svet, January 10, 1904. Subotić was a respected member of the Serbian community, but also well known in Austria-Hungary and the international women’s movement. ¶ This document includes the first two parts of Subotić’s booklet: Part I: My First Attempts in the Work in the Field of our National Domestic Industry (pp. 3-14), Part II: About the exhibitions in Novi Sad and Pest (pp. 15-55). In Part I, Subotić talks about the time when in 1853 she first came to the idea to put a traditional national carpet in the guest room of her and her husband’s new home in Novi Sad. At the time, Serbian higher-class families considered the handicraft of rural women suitable only for the use in village houses. Yet, her husband compared the peasant women’s handicraft to the Serbian national poetry, calling it “the poetry of women’s hands.” They were both amazed of how beautiful the handicraft products looked in their room. In 1861, on the occasion of a celebration of the centenary of the birth of Sava Tekelija (Szava Thököly, 1761-1842), for the first time she wore a dress made of the canvas handmade by Serbian rural women. Her idea then was to modernize the traditional handicraft, by using the handmade canvas to make modern-looking dresses. The aim was to make Serbian women’s handicraft compatible to the “world market.” As the years passed, Subotić noticed that the situation was changing and that rural women would be less and less reluctant to the idea of selling their products. Part II is mainly about the many-years of preparations for the display of the handmade carpets and canvas at the exhibitions finally held in Novi Sad (Újvidék) in 1884 and in Budapest in 1885. Subotić also describes how she talked to rural women in different places and educated them to make their embroidery more modern, and how she tried to enlighten them with regard to issues of health, mentioning also the difficulties of approaching the women and gaining their trust. Her main argument was that because of the dissolution of the cooperative (zadruga, commune, the traditional structure of the family in the Balkans) and the rising competition on the market, the people in “our areas,” meaning Serbs and Croats, have suffered from gradual impoverishment. For this reason, she would argue that it was exactly the embroidery that could improve the livelihood of the peasants, as almost all women in the area can easily do this kind of work. She saw the specific value of the Serbian women’s handwork in the fact that each work was unique, as no women would entirely copy the patterns, but would always add something new. She mentions that at the exhibition in Budapest– generally labeled the “national” or “country-wide (országos)” general exhibition in Budapest in the year 1885 – all inscriptions were written in the Hungarian language, even though she had asked over and over again that the information should also be written in Serbian language, as the exhibits with which she was concerned were handmade by Serbian rural women. When she asked the Hungarian minister of agriculture, economy and trade (Pál Széchenyi 1838-1901) to support the development of the Serbian handicraft industry, he had claimed that there is only one industry, the Hungarian one. She openly disagreed to this claim, making the minister angry. “There were other words uttered, that are not for the public,” adds Subotić. Later on, she claims that her name was erased by the minister Széchenyi from the names proposed for the awards by the jury. Additionally, she mentions an expose she had written in German for the jury of the Budapest exhibition (who didn’t come in time to hear her speaking), and explains that the expose was published in Serbian translation in the journal Zastava (‘The Flag’, 1866-1914, 1919-1929) in Novi Sad on 20 September 1985. She repeats that the solution to the problem of the impoverishment of peasants is embroidery. “Hungary is not an industrial country,” she notices, but the poor people “are worse off than factory workers,” adding that if that “evil” (the impoverishment) is not defeated, then “we will get a peasant proletariat, which is much more dangerous than the town proletariat, because it is more contagious” (Subotić’s emphasis). Additionally, when she talks about the women workers who make the embroidery, she mentions mostly Serbian and Croatian women, calling them also “Yugoslav women (Jugoslovenke).” Towards the end of the part II, she describes her frequent travels to Budapest “to finish some work.” The end of this part talks about the exhibition in Novi Sad in 1884. For Part IV, see Savka Subotić, “Part IV [Part IV: On the Exhibition in Paris],” in O našim narodnim tkaninama i rukotvorinama [On our national textiles and handicrafts] (Novi Sad, 1904), 79–95 (17pp.).

TITLE: A Call for Subscription for "The Serbian Woman." DESCRIPTION: This article is a call, 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 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 book, The Serbian Woman, her Life and Work, her Cultural Development and her Folk Art up to Date (Srpkinja, njezin život i rad, njezin kulturni razvitak i njezina narodna umjetnost do danas), edited by Serbian women writers, was published in 1913 by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian women in Irig (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Iriškinja), Vojvodina. The book includes the review of the work of 60 Serbian women storytellers, poets, artists, etc. It is described as precious because it shows that Serbian women are not altruistic women who heal the wounds of Serbian soldiers, but also cultural workers. Some of the authors of the book, mentioned in the article, are: Jelica Belović-Bernardzikovski, Zora Prica (Belgrade), Maga Magazinović (Belgrade) and Darinka Bulja (Vilovo). The book is dedicated to Savka Subotić. The call is signed by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women in Irig, the secratary Stevan Radić and the president Zorka Živković.

TITLE: Woman in Nation. DESCRIPTION: Elena (Maróthy-) Šoltésová (1855-1939) was a Slovak writer, editor and publicist and a leading figure of the Slovak women’s activism of the 2nd half of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Between 1894 and 1927, she was the chairwoman of the Slovak women’s association Živena. Lead by Maróthy-Šoltésová, Živena founded several schools for girls, organised lectures for girls in housekeeping and founded the Lipa organisation to help Slovak female embroiders sell their work. She was also the editor of the women’s journal Živena, founded in 1910. Dennica [Morning Star] was the first Slovak women’s journal, founded in 1898. The journal was founded and edited by Terézia Vansová (1857-1942), Slovak writer and a leading women’s activist. From the perspective of the Slovak nationalism, the author deals with defining the role of a woman in the Slovak nation as a nation suffering and oppressed. The primary task of a woman is the successful education of children in the national spirit. However, the author emphasizes that the woman’s role is not limited to this. A woman, like a man, is called to the national mission, to work for the nation as a nationalist. The Slovak nation is portrayed as a soft and pliable nation. Women have the task of supplying it with strength, multiplying the power of the nation. The legitimacy to do so is given to them by their love for the nation, which according to the author is primarily a woman’s attribute. In the text nationalism is connected with Christianity - the nations are something eternal - created by God. See also, Ambróz Pietor, “Slovenky pozor! [Slovak Women, Beware!],” Národní hlásník [National Watchman] 2, no. 6 (1869): 169–73 (5pp.); and Anna Pivková, Ambróz Pietor, and Anna Mudroňová, “Príhlas k ct. obecenstvu slovenskému [Statement to the Revered Slovak Audience],” in Živena.

TITLE: Czech Women to Czech Female Physician. DESCRIPTION: The text is an open letter of the members of various Czech women's associations to dr. Anna Bayerová. Anna Bayerová (1853–1924) was the second Czech speaking medical doctor, she graduated in Bern, Switzerland in 1881; the Austrian law did not allow her to open her medical practice in Cisleithania. In the letter, the activists voice their admiration for Bayerová, write that "Czech women" need her in the Czech lands, express the wish that a "Czech doctor would be no longer an exile abroad". They ask her to take formal steps that could contribute to her return from abroad and express their full support. The letter is conceived as a letter of "Czech women" to the “Czech woman-doctor". The activists construct the connection between themselves and the addressee based on a common gender and national identity and use this “bond” to legitimize their demand.
