TITLE: Demand! DESCRIPTION: Typescript kept in the papers of Mrs. Oszkár Szirmai (born Irma Reinitz, 1867-1958), leader of the child protection division of the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the leading liberal-progressive women’s organization in Hungary at the time. The “Demand!” in all likelihood is authored by Mrs. Szirmai. It addresses “our brothers and sisters” with the request to contribute to the wartime effort of the Association by ordering and paying for goods that can be produced by “your poor sisters” in doing homework. This effort fulfills a double purpose: It generates “well paid” work for poor women, if only “in small doses so as to be able to include everybody,” while, later on, those who have ordered and paid for the work shall “give” what has been produced “as a present to those in need.” The “Demand” mentions winter cloth and simple cloth for women, children and babies as examples. The association had received a number of large orders, for instance for children’s clothes or wristlets, yet it was in dire need for new orders since “in the hours when work distribution takes place,” in the rooms of the school in Nagydiófa Street 8 in Budapest, “the clientele is as large as if warm cakes of new bank notes were distributed, whereas in reality it is only work which is distributed there.” The Demand mentions that the activities of the association have always been oriented towards social rather than charitable work, referring to the association’s counseling activities with regard to work and employment. Yet, the war has generated such manifold miseries that help now must be given “quickly and in reliable manner by action rather than through the word” alone.
