TITLE: On Women Workers – For Women Workers. DESCRIPTION: The cover notes that the extensive brochure is published in the “Socialist Agitation Series,” and 1-20.000 is given, presumably as the number of copies. The author, Mrs. Buchinger Szerena Ladányi (1884-1940) was a key representative of the social democratic women’s movement associated with the Social-democratic Party of Hungary (Magyarországi Szociáldemokrata Párt, MSZDP). The time of patience and permissiveness of woman workers is coming to an end. Woman workers have to go through the world with head held high and recognize all the injustice. The brochure points to the additional suffering and oppression caused by the Great War. Nine comprehensive chapters describe women’s condition, the political circumstances, and the tasks of woman workers: the “Household” has turned from a production into a consumption unit and has become strongly differentiated as to class; “Woman in the Family” describes women’s subordinate position and dependence in the family (as recognized already by the social democratic workers), as well as the devaluation of women, women’s work and women’s housework obligations considered non-work; “Woman as Wageworker” has long been and will continue to be a reality in the future, while suffering from unequal pay; “as Mother” the woman Worker suffers from additional burdens; she needs the “Trade Union” in order to achieve equal pay and other improvements; “The Woman Worker and Politics” is not two separate entities, and women have to become involved in politics because of their role in and for society; all the usual answers to the question “Why don’t They Want to Give Suffrage to the Woman Workers?” are misleading and wrong. The eighth chapter discusses “Which Party Shall Woman Workers Join?” and explains that society is constituted of two classes both of which include women and men. By contrast “the feminists” (a feministák) divide society into two camps, women as opposed to men. They accept as belonging to their political camp those women too who are “the biggest exploiters”, ignoring the interest antagonism between rich and poor women. The female factory owner pursues interests opposite to the social and material demands of the woman worker, even if both are deprived of political rights. The woman worker will therefore fight together with the male worker “against capitalism which doesn’t know gender difference when it comes to the exploitation of the working class.” The “feminists” might achieve some progress, yet the emancipation of the female sex comes only with the abolition of the existing relations of production, and this is a goal pursued only by the social democratic party. The concluding chapter “The Journal and the Book” describes educational party and trade union activities for woman workers, and it invites the reader to visit the editorial office of and subscribe to Nőmunkás [Woman Worker], the journal produced exclusively for this group. Those who have read the brochure shall spread their knowledge and turn into agitators themselves. Each individual has to become involved. “We feel that the big masses of women are awakening, and we who are already more enlightened have to align with the weaker ones and lead them with secure hands on the road at the end of which we see the better future, the happier life.” KEYWORDS: Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Socialism; Work and Class Identity; Class Discrimination; Gender Discrimination; Gender and Class; Equal Pay for Equal Work; Labor Standards; Trade Unions; Habsburg Empire; Hungary

This text outlines the proceedings of the International Feminist Congress held in Brussels, in the summer of 1897. The international group focused on five major themes: women’s civic rights; the nature of patriarchy; women’s economic rights; the status of the feminist movement; and women and public charity. In the discussion on women’s civic rights, a number of speakers addressed concerns brought forth by a new German civic code with attention also given to English and Russian women’s civic status. The second session, which investigated men’s social and biological roles, questioned the degree to which male privilege is socially constructed. In the discussion of women’s economic rights, many speakers linked the idea of economic independence with the goals of feminism––itself a topic elaborated upon in the Congress’s fourth session. The fifth and final session looked at women’s participation in charitable organizations, and hypothesized on how to make women’s public work in this arena more socially palatable.
