TITLE: Dear Board (November 1915). DESCRIPTION: The archive of Jagiellonian Library in Cracow contains unpublished material of Zofia Daszyńska-Golińska (1866-1934) which she collected due to her task to represent the Polish women’s organization “Liga Kobiet (Women’s League)” at the international Women’s Peace Congress in The Hague in 1915. Daszyńska-Golińska was a socialist and feminist politician and a national economist (Nationalökonomin). She gained her PhD at the University of Zurich (Universität Zürich) in 1891 and taught at Berlin University (Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, today Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin). She stood up for women’s right to vote and for the independence of Poland. She also was a representative of the eugenic movement in Poland especially between the wars. The “International Congress of Women, The Hague, 1915” called together representatives of women’s organizations from all over the world to prevent war in future. It established the “International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace,” since 1919 “Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.” The “Liga Kobiet (Women’s League)” joined together active Polish women to mobilize them for the “Polish question.” The collection consists of 48 pp. of different handwritten papers and typescripts in German and Polish from Daszyńska-Goliǹska: records from meetings and policy papersabout the positions of Polish women’s politics concerning independence, peace and the role of women during war times. In addition, there are some English, Polish and German announcements and protocols concerning the Congress and the Committee. They are not written by Daszyńska-Golińska. The official letter ‘SzanownyZarządzie (Listopad 1915) [Dear Board (November 1915)]’ signed by Anioła Krzyżanowska, secretaire, and Wanda Bileska for the chairwomen of the Women’s League is about an announcement of the “Central Committee of Stars for the Legionaries in Cracow (Krakowie Komitet Centralny gwiazdkowy dla Legionistów)” which should be distributed.

Three interrelated themes dominate Muriel Wright’s correspondence in her papers at the Oklahoma Historical Society: her family ties, especially her father’s Choctaw lineage; her work in and promotion of Indian history, especially the Five Civilized Tribes; and her participation in Indian affairs, especially those of the Choctaw Nation. The long-term interaction among those themes was mutually reinforcing. Her commitment to the Wright family’s Choctaw lineage sustained her commitment to the history of Indian people and to Indian affairs in Oklahoma, while her work as a historian and her involvement in Indian affairs invigorated her family ties. To facilitate research in her papers, we have divided them into twelve categories, identified by the following keywords: biography; family; biography and Indian history; Indian history; biography and Indian affairs; Indian affairs and Indian history; Indian affairs; and the following keywords related to her publications: Chronicles of Oklahoma; Spring Place; Guide to Indian Tribes in Oklahoma; Our Oklahoma. This letter is identified by the keywords: Indian affairs.

TITLE: Zoe Arion to Emilia Dr. Rațiu, Bucharest, October 1905. DESCRIPTION: Letter sent by Zoe Arion from Bucharest (in the Romanian Kingdom) to Emilia Rațiu (in Sibiu/Nagyszeben/Hermannstadt, Kingdom of Hungary at the time). Zoe Arion was the daughter of Romanian Army General and diplomat Eracle Arion, likely some twenty years youger than her correspondent. Emilia Rațiu (1846-1929) was a Transylvanian Romanian nationalist activist and a frequent contributor to Familia magazine. She was married to Romanian National Party leader Ioan Rațiu. She was president of the Reunion of Romanian Women in the town of Turda, founder of the Women’s Reading Society in the same town in 1873, and an initiator of several other social reform and welfare activities. She led international mobilization efforts in favor of the claims of Transylvanian Romanians within Austria Hungary, especially following the arrest of Ioan Rațiu in 1894. ¶ This letter expresses the opinion that, despite the Emperor’s many faults, the monarch had begun to see the mistakes of the Hungarians. Arion articulates that Romanians had always been in favor of the dynasty (‘dynastic’) but that it was an inappropriate moment for Transylvanian politicians to become Kossuthists. If there were any need to join a party, socialists, with their platform of universal suffrage, might be more appealing. In 1905, when this letter was written, the Romanian National Party (RNP) in Transylvania had ceased its boycott of Hungarian parliamentary institutions and was pushing from within the Parliament for universal suffrage within the Kingdom of Hungary. (Of note, the RNP had debated whether to formally endorse women’s suffrage at its January 1905 congress, finally deciding against the issue with some members expressing support for the cause.) The RNP was probably debating at the time the alliances it should forge within the Parliament. During 1905, workers, especially in the Austrian half of the Dual Monarchy, mobilized by a popular socialist movement, were demanding suffrage in mass demonstrations and through other forms of participation. Arion’s entreaty towards an alliance with the socialists functioned in this context. The Kosshutism mentioned in the letter as a less appealing alternative to the support of socialists refers to the ideological legacy of 1848 revolutionary Kossuth Lajos (1802-1894), a symbol of the more radical patriotism of the Hungarian Revolution and a hero of Hungarian centralizers. The brief mention of suffrage politics links with how a Member of Hungarian Parliament, Stefan Cicio-Pop, participated in 1913 in the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) Congress in Budapest and later supported a bill for universal suffrage. However, this letter does not mention women’s suffrage explicitly, and is likely to be implicitly referring to male suffrage without property qualifications when discussing “universal suffrage.” On women’s suffrage and Transylvanian Romanian nationalism, see also Helena Densusianu, “Helena Densusianu to Emilia Dr. Rațiu, 10 March 1870” (Letter, Făgăraș, March 10, 1870), 844/1870, Fond 1246 Personal Fond Dr. Ioan Ratiu, ff. 1-2, Romania. Arhivele Nationale. Arhivele Nationale Istorice Centrale Bucharest; and Eleonora Lemény, “Indreptatire politica femeilor! [Legitimate Women’s Policy!],” Adevarul-Glasul Poporului, December 2, 1918. ¶ This document captures with unusual directness Transylvanian Romanian positioning vis-à-vis the Habsburg dynasty and within the Austro-Hungarian Empire (a stance taken since the 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution). The letter exemplifies pragmatic politics and organizing, and places a young upper-class educated woman such as Arion in the middle of the “male sphere” of parliamentary political strategizing in both Transylvania and the Romanian Kingdom. For example, it is interesting to note that the presumed aversion towards socialist politics among the Transylvanian Romanian middle class and within the Romanian National Party could be conceived as surmountable, in the context of the struggle for universal suffrage. Finally, the topics and rhetorical features of this letter offer a counterweight to the maternalist, “women’s sphere,” and the highly affective style encountered in other politically active women’s public rhetoric. Compare this with Maria Baiulescu, “Cuvantul de deschidere rostit de doamna Maria B. Baiulescu, presedinta Uniunii Femeilor Romane din Brasov la I-ul Congres al Reuniunilor de Femei din Ungaria, tinut la Brasov in zilele de 3-5 Iunie 1913 [Opening Speech Given by Mrs. Maria B. Baiulescu, President of the Union of Romanian Women in Brasov to the Ist Congress of the Women’s Reunions held in Brasov between 3-5 June 1913]” (Speech, Brașov, June 1913), MS 1954, f. 36, “George Baritiu” County Library Special Collections, “George Baritiu” County Library Special Collections. The Arion letter contributes to a more complex image of the reasons and tactics of nationalist mobilization among women involved in the Transylvanian Romanian national cause and underscores the gap that existed between private discourse and public rhetoric among politicized women.

TITLE: Information: Journal of the Social Mission Society and the Cooperating Catholic Associations. Circular Letter. Supplement of Information] vol. 3, no. 8, October 1914. DESCRIPTION: This letter is part of a selection of journals documenting the history of the Hungarian-speaking women’s movement in the Hungarian Kingdom in the Habsburg Monarchy. Értesítő [Information] was published from 1912 to 1914. All issues available in the Országos Széchényi Könyvtár [Hungarian National Library] are included in this digital archive. The journal was renamed A keresztény nő [The Christian Woman] in 1915 and published until after the end of the Habsburg Monarchy. The Social Mission Society, one of the most active and innovative organizations among the Catholic women’s groups, evolved in the years 1908-1910. Értesítő reported on the activities and the various institutions of the Social Mission Society, and the activities of other Catholic groups. The work of the Catholic organizations and groups focused on educational betterment and rescue (patronázs) work for girls in schools, prisons and other institutions, as well as social welfare work. The Social Mission Society began to engage in systematic training of its members for social work, contributing to the professionalization of social work in Hungary. Értesítő regularly reported on the National Catholic Association for the Protection of Women (Országos Kath. Nővédő Egyesület), and the National Catholic Women’s Association for Betterment and Rescue Work (Országos Kath. Női Patronage-Egyesület). Értesítő also published poems, songs, and edifying literature, as well as more general writings, often by important Catholic authorities, on Catholic social thinking in relation to various social and spiritual agendas. The journal constitutes a key source of information on the Catholic women’s movement in Hungary and its international context. KEYWORDS: Social Reform and Political Activism; Welfare Movements; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Social Work; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Catholic Rescue Work for Mostly Lower-Class Women; Habsburg Empire; Hungary
