This report was prepared by Marta Ezcurra, the Head of the Social Services Section and Social and Labor Issues Division of the Pan American Union in response to a resolution adopted at the 1949 Special Assembly of the Inter-American Commission of Women (Comisión Interamericana de Mujeres (CIM)) to study the limits and possibilities of protective legislation on women’s work. This document compiled studies of women’s employment by the Women’s Bureau of the United States in 1928, by the Royal Commission on Equal Pay in Great Britain from 1944 to 1946, and by the International Labor Organization presented to its international conference in Geneva in 1950.

This volume consists of two speeches delivered by German feminist Lily Braun (Lily Braun-Gizycki) at the time of the International Women’s Congress in Berlin in 1896. In her address to the International Congress for Women’s Work (Internationalen Kongress für Frauenwerke und Frauenbestrebungen), Braun discussed the differences between the bourgeois women’s movement and the Socialist women’s movement. She noted that working-class representatives were invited to the Berlin congress but declined to participate. Working-class women saw women’s rights as part of larger social issues addressed by the Social Democrats in parliament. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) and its 48 representatives stood for all women, according to Braun, and she encouraged the audience to attend two large Socialist public meetings where she, Clara Zetkin, Emma Ihrer, Martha Rohrlack, Marie (?) Griefenberg, and Ottilie Baader were scheduled to speak about German women workers’ rights. The second speech is Braun’s address to a Socialist public meeting (Volksversammlung) in the Martens Ballroom. Here Braun argued for cooperation between the Socialist and bourgeois women’s movements. Citing examples from social and labor movements in England and Germany, Braun addressed the prejudices and misunderstandings between the bourgeois and socialist women’s movements. She described the efforts of Social Democrats to address the problems of working-class families in detail, including long workdays, the lack of maternity benefits and poor nutrition, as a counterargument to bourgeois claims that Social Democrats aimed to destroy the family. In addition, she refuted bourgeois fears that Social Democrats would destroy religion. Braun asserted that the SPD was the only party that advocated equal rights through direct universal suffrage.

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. KEYWORDS: Social Reform and Political Activism; Multi-Ethnic Participation in Social Movements; Work and Class Identity; Sexual Division of Labour; Women and Education; Gendered Education; Education as Source of Women’s Emancipation; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Nagyvárad/Oradea/Großwardein; Pécs/Fünfkirchen; Nagyszombat/Trnava/Tyrnau; Debrecen; Csurgó; Beregszász/Berehove; Miskolc; Sepsiszentgyörgy/Sfântu-Gheorghe; Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica; Pozsony/Bratislava/Preßburg; Igló/Spišská Nová Ves/Zipser Neudorf; Cegléd; Bánffyhunyad/Huedin

TITLE: The Women’s Question: On the Tenth Anniversary of the Maria Dorothea Association. DESCRIPTION: This document was published in 1895 and edited by Mrs. Albin Csáky (born Anna Bolza, 1847-1925), wife of the former Hungarian minister of religion and education. The Maria Dorothea Association (Mária Dorothea Egyesület) took its name after its patroness, the Archduchess Maria Dorothea from the Hungarian branch of the Habsburgs. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the Maria Dorothea Association was at the core of women’s activism related to education and the professional interests, especially those of woman teachers. Its capital amounted to 91,348 forints that year, and uniquely among professional organizations, the introduction boasts, its membership comprised as many as one quarter of all Hungarian female instructors. It maintained a retirement home for eight, and ailing members could benefit from its villa in the remote spa resort Ceméte/Cemjáta (today in Slovakia). It proclaimed among its goals the replacement of French with Hungarian governesses. Prefaced by a summary of the association’s history and workings, the rest of the volume consists of 101 contributions, including lines of wisdom, essays, poetry, and fiction, from prominent members and key figures of women’s civic activism in the decades before publication and at the time, including Minka Czóbel, Janka Zirzen, Baroness Amália Egloffstein, Mrs Armin Neuman, and Vilma Steinitzer. ¶ The book can be considered a key source of information about the state of Hungarian women’s thinking on many aspects of the “woman question,” and forms of activism at the historical moment before the onset of broader and more generalized forms of women’s organizing around the turn of the century. Through its potpourri-character and the large range of themes and contributors, it gives a vivid picture of women’s civic engagement and interest at the time. At the same time, it contains contributions from prominent members and key figures of women’s civic activism and public presence in the decades before publication and at the time, including Minka Czóbel, Janka Zirzen, Baroness Amália Egloffstein, Mrs Armin Neuman, and Vilma Steinitzer. Among these contributions, Zsuzsánna Benczúr calls attention to the poor wages of telegraph operators, Ilona Székely writes about music education, Irma N...y about the vocation of nurses, Antónia Barkóczy-Dömök on girls’ residence halls, Klára Lövei on careers open to women and on the national mission of governesses, Ágnes Zilahy on the business of running a household, Eszter Justus introduces the Union des Femmes of Geneva and Vilma Freund housekeeping schools as a recent Western invention, Augusta Rosenberg remembers Mrs. Pál Veres (see item 30566), Mária Hentaller Mrs. Fáyl evokes a charitable women’s association founded in Pest in 1817, Mrs. Hugó Trux shares pages from her Bosnian diary, Róza Csapó describes lace-making as a home industry in the lower Tisza area, while Ida M. Karlovszky makes a case for women’s aptitude for intellectual work. The contribution by Countess Vilma Bethlen Mrs. Béni Kállay deserves special mentioning for its account of gender relations and politics in the Condominium of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a province occupied in 1878, and from 1908 formally annexed and jointly controlled and ruled by Austria and Hungary. Bethlen’s contribution describes the work the first two woman doctors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It gives figures about the number of patients they treated, and focuses on their special role in treating Muslim women. The work of the doctors is described as contributing to the raise of Muslim women’s civilizational and health status and bringing them into contact with their non-Muslim surroundings. The provincial government had established the two civil servant positions, of equal status with comparable male doctors, in 1891 and 1893, respectively. Countess Bethlen also describes how, when staying in the province, she used to receive groups of Muslim women, transforming her residence for the occasion into a sealed-off woman-only sphere. Supporting these women in the spirit of true affection helps them to fulfil their family duties in a rational manner and brings progress to “the civilization of the East.” KEYWORDS: Women and Cultures of Empire; Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements and Other Actors beyond Empire; Institutions of Empire; Dynasty; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control and Health; Women as Medical Professionals; Women and Education; Women as Teachers; Education as a Source of Women’s Emancipation; Education in National Languages; Women and Class Identity; Equal Pay for Equal Work; Trade Unions; Women as Medical Doctors; Habsburg Empire; Kolozsvár/Cluj/Klausenburg; Újvidék/Novi Sad/Neusatz; Győr/Raab; Fiume/Rijeka
