TITLE: The Woman Question. DESCRIPTION: Marija Kumičić (1863-1945) was a Croatian writer and member of numerous patriotic and women’s associations. The booklet is entirely devoted to the woman question, and it is published in 1906 by Hrvatska Čitaonica (the Croatian Reading Room) in Zagreb. It presents a conservative view on women’s position in society, explicitly posited against the "modern current" that opened up the woman question as the issue of equality. The author refers to the divine law that gave women their primary role of being mothersand educating children’s minds and hearts. She laments the loss of traditional values and ideals and is against the modern view that promotes equality between men and women in all areas. For Kumičić, women who entered professions are not free, since in the contemporary world everyone is slave to duty, while the “modern freedom” often work against morality and required modesty. The most important question in society is the national one. Even without the voting rights, women often vote through their husbands, Kumičić finds, even blaming women for votes against national interests. They are often motivated by vanity and influenced by the world of foreign fashion, promoted by the popular press from Berlin, Vienna and Paris. The text finishes by evoking Jelena Šubić, mother of the national hero Nikola Šubić-Zrinjski, as an ideal woman active in the struggle for national independence, but also a foreign woman, Croatian queen Jelena (Helena, Ilona), sister of Hungarian King Ladislaus I. who abolished Croatia’s sovereignty. Marija Kumičić (née Maršić) was the wife of Eugen Kumičić (1850-1904), an influential Croatian writer and politician. She wrote political and social articles, poems, novels and short stories, translated novels and worked as the editor of literary supplement to the fashion magazine Modnisvijet. Through her husband, Marija Kumičić was in close relations with the Croatian politician Ante Starčević, the founder of the modern Croatian nationalism, influenced by political liberalism. Socially, however, she espoused conservatism and blamed the importing of the woman question to the "modern stream", foreign to Croatian nation. Characteristically for her conservative views, the author remained silent about women from other parts of the Empire and Europe, preferring the simple narrative of the struggle for Croatian national independence, narrowly focused on national history and its plight. Later, in the kingdom of Yugoslavia, Kumičić will act as the president of Hrvatskažena (Croatian woman, 1921-1943), the main nationalist women’s organization opposed to the common Yugoslav state and standing outside of Yugoslav umbrella women’s organizations. She remained active in the fascist, puppet “Independent state of Croatia” during the Second World War. Keywords: Women and Nation within Empire; National Identity; Empire Silenced; Political and Human Rights; Nationality Rights; Suffrage; Women and Religion

DESCRIPTION: Letter by the Women’s Organization of the Young Czech Party, officially National Liberal Party (Národní strana svobodomyslná) in Prague, addressing “the Presidency” of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA a few days before the opening of the congress held in Budapest from 15 to 21 June 1913. The Party refuses to participate in the congress for the same reason as Božena Viková-Kunětická. The party, however, has strong sympathies for the congress and “for your grand idea of the equality of all women, in the name of justice” and “equality between men and women which is the goal of true socialism.” See also, “B.
