TITLE: Program of the Forming Association for Women's Education, 1867; and the Charter, 1868, in Life and Activity of Mrs. Pál Veres Hermin Beniczky, Published as a Token of Grateful Adoration by the National Association for Women's Education, 702-705. DESCRIPTION: This document is one of nine extracts from the 1902 publication Life and Activity of Mrs. Pál Veres Hermin Beniczky, edited by Mrs. József Rudnay and Mrs. Gyula Szigethy. The book contains an extensive account of the life and activities of Beniczky and reprints of many original documents. Hermin Beniczky, usually remembered as Mrs. Pál Veres (1815-1895), was a pioneer of Hungarian women’s education, founder in 1868 of the National Association for Women’s Education (Országos Nőképző-Egyesület) and its long-term President, and co-founder in 1869 of the first high school for girls in Hungary. See the biographical summary of her in Krassimira Daskalova, Anna Loutfi, and Francisca de Haan, A Biographical Dictionary of Women’s Movements and Feminisms: Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe, 19th and 20th Centuries (Budapest: Central European University Press, 2006), 54-57. The extracts selected include a collection of writings dating from the period 1865–69. These include Beniczky’s calls from 1865 and 1867, her treatise from 1868 and documents of her lobbying with the governing party from 1868–69, when she submitted a petition signed by nine thousand women to the Hungarian parliament, requesting a law on higher women’s schools with public funding. In her writings, Beniczky condemned the exclusive concern for languages and etiquette in the upbringing of upper-class girls and argued that a more meaningful education would also help secure a livelihood for unmarried and widowed women. Taking note of a general shift from physical towards intellectual work, she set out a broad range of possible female careers. However, she kept distancing herself from any more far-reaching concept of women’s emancipation. There is also a portrait of Beniczky. Another selection from Beniczky’s writings from the period 1869 to 1883, includes opening speeches from the Association’s general assembly meetings, letters, papers and addresses. The initiative to finance higher women’s schools from public funds failed in lack of political backing. The central school, however, got under way in 1869 with Hungarian as the sole language of instruction, and although Beniczky complained about high attrition rates, it soon launched a teacher training track as well. Finally, a selection from the documents from the period 1869–94 include the statutes of the National Association, the first curriculum of the central school for the two lower grades, a report on its opening, a call by the Association to celebrate the royal couple’s 25 year coronation jubilee (Francis Joseph was Emperor of Austria since 1848 but had been crowned King of Hungary only in 1867), its congratulatory letter sent on the same occasion, and contributions to the 25 year jubilee of the National Association itself in 1893. The curriculum is remarkable for giving a close glimpse at Beniczky’s ambitious vision of women’s education. Girls of thirteen to fourteen years of age in the general track studied all of the following subjects: art history, aesthetics, pedagogy, hygienic, Hungarian, German and French, arithmetic, drawing, thinking, ethics, Hungarian cultural history and civics, Hungarian literary history and chemistry applied to the household. A few letters received by Mrs. Veres, writings about her, and writings which address her activities and other important events in relation to women’s education, such as for instance the speech by the Minister for education, Gyula Wlassics, on the occasion of the opening of the National Association’s girls’ gymnasium in 1896, are also included. In 1906 a statue was erected in Budapest depicturing Mrs. Veres, wearing a Hungarian national costume. Today, the statue is placed at the beginning of Mrs. Pál Veres Street (Veres Pálné utca) in the inner city of the Hungarian capital. Its pedestal carries the inscription “Mrs. Pál Veres Hermin Beniczky. She fought for the cause that Woman with her education and her soul may become a factor/agent (tényező) of national welfare.” For more on the sculpture, see Veres Pálné, Beniczky Hermin szobra [The Sculpture of Mrs. Pál Veres Hermin Beniczky] (Budapest, 1906). KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; Dynasty; Elisabeth Queen of Hungary and Empress of Austria; Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Nation-Building; Women and National Languages; National Identity; Empire Silenced; Women and Education; Education as a Source of Women’s Emancipation; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male-Dominated Organizations; Habsburg Empire; Austria; Hungary

TITLE: Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association between 1912–1932, on the Occasion of its Seventy-Year Jubilee. DESCRIPTION: Clothilde Dähn (1867-1932) describes the history of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association (Augustan Confession) (Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenverein A.B.) beginning from 1912. For an earlier history, see Richard Alberti, Jahresbericht über die Tätigkeit des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B. im Jahre 1910 (49. Vereinsjahr) [Yearly Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association for 1910 (Forty-Ninth Year)] (Bistriz: Verlag des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B., 1911). Yearly reports had not been published since 1915. Dähn became second president of the Association in 1910 and was its president between 1914 and 1932. The association was started as a local initiative in 1862. By 1910, the Bistritz/Bistrița/Beszterce Evangelical Women’s Association operated as the local chapter of the General Women’s Association of the Transylvanian Evangelical Church (Augustan Confession) (Allgemeiner Frauenverein der evangelischen Landeskirche A.B. in Siebenbürgen). The General Association was founded in 1884, a move which was aimed at unifying associations of Lutheran women under the Transylvanian Evangelical Church. The Transylvanian Evangelical Church enjoyed far-reaching autonomy within the Hungarian Kingdom after the Austro-Hungarian “Compromise” of 1867. It functioned as the key institution of the self-government of the German-speaking Saxon population of Transylvania, Hungary. The Bistritz Association was one of many local associations of Lutheran women in Transylvania. The association had run a kindergarten since 1886, a medical care centre (Krankenpflegeanstalt) since 1898, a soup kitchen since 1911, and an orphanage since 1914. The surge of enthusiasm at the outbreak of the Great War drove members to exchange six thousand crown worth of golden jewelry for iron rings in the Central Powers’ military fundraising programme, “I Gave Gold for Iron.” With the war wearing on, they participated in the effort by knitting woolen clothing for soldiers in the front lines and by supporting families left behind. The brochure gives detailed information on functionaries, members, and donations. KEYWORDS: Peace and War, International Governance and International Law; War; Women’s Participation in War Effort; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Child Care; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control and Health; Women as Medical Professionals; Habsburg Empire; War bonds; Funds and Donations; World War I
