TITLE: Yearbook of the Reunion of Romanian Women for the Years 1913-1914. DESCRIPTION: This document is the yearbook for the 1913-1914 period, by the Reuniunea Femeilor Române / Reunion of Romanian Women in Sibiu/ Hermannstadt/Nagyszeben. The Reunion was founded in 1880. It opened a Romanian-language, private, elementary school for girls in 1883. In 1905/1906 the Reunion inaugurated a “School for home economy and industry.” It reorganized this school in 1911, by dividing it into sections for training in industrial and housekeeping work but closed it in 1914. For more on the school, see Reuniunea Femeilor Romane Sibiu, Anuarul Reuniunii Femeilor din Sibiu pe anii 1911-1912 [The Yearbook of the Women’s Meeting in Sibiu for the Years 1911-1912] (Sibiu: Tiparul Tipografia Arhidiecezane, 1912). After the beginning of the Great War, the Sibiu Reunion volunteered to care for the Austro-Hungarian Army’s wounded by creating a “reserve hospital” in the training school’s building. In 1919, Queen Marie of Romania (1875-1938) became patron of the Reunion’s reopened School for Housekeeping and Industry. In the years that followed, the Sibiu Reunion was a significant participant in the federative Union of Romanian Women, initiated by Maria Baiulescu. ¶ The Yearbook offers information on the activities of the Sibiu Reunion of Romanian Women between 1913 and 1914. The administrative documents reproduced in the yearbook include the presidential address by Maria Cosma, meeting minutes, budgets, annual organizational report, the household section report, the industrial section report, an accounting report, a membership report, and proposals before the committee. A balance sheet and a budget sheet are included in table form, and the membership list is printed last. This yearbook shows how the Reunion wanted to promote women’s and national progress simultaneously, by linking young Romanian women’s improved career opportunities to the furthering of the national cause. The Reunion recognized and developed practices around certain class issues as well. This yearbook contributes to a better understanding of the evolution of Transylvanian Romanian women’s associations in the years right before, during and immediately after the Great War.

In the years that followed, the Sibiu Reunion was a significant participant in the federative Union of Romanian Women, initiated by Maria Baiulescu. ¶ The Yearbook offers information on the activities of the Sibiu Reunion of Romanian Women between 1914 and 1916. According to the administrative documents reproduced in the yearbook (meeting minutes, budgets, annual report), the “reserve hospital” cared for “264 wounded soldiers, by origin from the different countries of our Monarchy.” In 1915, the Reunion hospital and its initiators were commended by the visiting Archduke Franz Salvator of Austria (1866-1939), a promoter of the Red Cross in Austria-Hungary. In 1916, the Reunion closed its hospital, arguing that it was no longer sent any wounded to care for. Valeria Soroștineanu has shown that the situation of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt and its inhabitants during the second half of the war was complicated: when the Kingdom of Romania joined the war in 1916, on the side of the Entente, the city was quickly surrounded by the neighboring country’s troops, with most civilians fleeing the area. The members of the Reunion remaining in the (still Austro-Hungarian) city of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt drastically reduced their social involvement, due to the “heavy atmosphere” and the weight of familial concerns. The Reunion re-emerged in late 1918 to welcome Romanian troops to the city and host a reception in honor of the Romanian-allied French General Henri Berthelot (1861-1931). For more on this, see Reuniunea Femeilor Romane Sibiu, Anuarul Reuniunii Femeilor din Sibiu pe anii 1911-1912 [The Yearbook of the Women’s Meeting in Sibiu for the Years 1911-1912] (Sibiu: Tiparul Tipografia Arhidiecezane, 1912). ¶ By covering the first years of the Great War, the yearbook helps us understand the transition undergone by the Sibiu Reunion, and to a certain extent, all women’s Reunions in Transylvania. Until 1916, the Reunion behaved largely like an Austro-Hungarian association of pragmatic, nationalistic Romanian women and was considered a significant part of Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt’s municipal associational fabric. After 1918, the organization presented itself and was recognized as primarily, ardently nationalistic. This yearbook helps reconstruct the evolution of Transylvanian Romanian women’s associations in the years right before, during and immediately after the Great War. In a broader sense, it contributes to comprehending the transformation of “empire” into “post-empire,” for the case of the Dual Monarchy.

TITLE: B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to Rosika Schwimmer, Praha, 24 May 1913. DESCRIPTION: Letter by B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to the Hungarian Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the local organizer of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA which would be held in Budapest from 15 to 21 June 1913. The authors point to the fact that they have received a letter by Carrie Chapman Catt, the President of the IWSA, who is disappointed that Božena Viková-Kunětická will not participate in the congress because she is not allowed to speak in Czech, and “demands in a friendly manner” that representatives of the Czech Committee for Women’s Voting Rights (Výbor pro volební právo žen) shall be present at the congress. There is the intention to come to do so under the condition that the representatives of the Committee may speak in Slovene, as the national language admissible at the public meetings, as had been the case in Stockholm (at the sixth confrence of the IWSA in 1911) and had been promised to them. Part of the conflict with Viková-Kunětická derives from the fact that she had not been aware of this possibility, and that the Committee had not been involved before she had been invited. They assume that under the conditions they describe Viková-Kunětická would still accept the invitation, and it would give a “good impression” if an enfranchised woman from the other part of the Habsburg Monarchy would speak at the congress. The response is urgent.

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. Keywords: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Women and Nation within Empire; Relations Between Women of Different Nationalities; Empire and Internationalism; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Habsburg Empire; Austria
