TITLE: The Celebration of the 70th Birthday of Mrs. Savka Subotić. DESCRIPTION: A report of the celebration of the 70th birthday of SavkaSubotić which the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) had organized in October, and which was attended by many officials of the Serbian institutions in Novi Sad. SavkaSubotić was not present, as she was in Paris at the time. Most of the text gives the speech held on the occasion by Arkadije Varađanin (Velika Kikinda/Nagykikinda 1844- Novi Sad/Újvidék 1922). The report was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja).The editor of the journal was Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights, a teacher, secretary of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Újvidék), and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Vojvodina in 1874. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina. Savka Subotić (1834-1918) was active in the women's movement in the Vojvodina, and also in Serbia and internationally. Subotić was educated in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Timișoara (Temesvár, Temeswar) and Vienna. Her main focus was the education of girls, especially Serbian girls; Subotić initiated the establishment of the first Serbian language high schools for girls, established in Novi Sad, Vojvodina and Pančevo (Pancsova), military frontier/Vojvodina in 1874 and in Sombor (Zombor), Vojvodina in 1875. See also, Milica Tomić, “Naše više devojačke škole [Our high schools for girls],” Žena, January 6, 1911; and “Srpska Viša Devojačka Škola u Novom Sadu [The Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, August 1913. In addition, Subotić was active in educating Serbian women in the countryside, and created a program of economic development for women who lived in the villages by popularizing and building the handicraft industry of the time. In 1867, Subotić established a women’s organization in Novi Sad (Ujvidék), the Vojvodina, which in documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina regularly is described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. Subotić was a respected member of the Serbian community, but also well known in Austria-Hungary as a whole and in the international women’s movement. In his speech, Arkadije Varađanin mentions that in the early years of her married life, Subotić had slowly come out of the “narrow frame” of family life into the “broader circle of national life,” but never ceased to remain true to her motherly and domestic duties. Varađanin talks about Subotić’s choice to work with the “national masses” in order to “morally elevate” and “materially assist” them, going to the villages herself as a “traveling national educator.” It was one of the Subotić’s accomplishments to modernize traditional women’s handicraft in order to make it appreciated in the “world market.” As Varađanin describes, Subotić worked on popularization of national rugs and canvas in the well to do households, taking care that they would be exhibited in Novi Sad (Újvidék) (1884), Budapest (1885) and Paris (1900). She had established the first Women’s Cooperative in Novi Sad that had no national or religious characteristics in 1864 with the help of Jovan Andrejević (1833-1864, a doctor, journalist and one of the founders of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad). According to Varađanin, this had been the first women’s organization in the area up to Vienna, even Germany. Later on, “the Serbian side” had to establish a new organization to serve the purposes for Serbian women alone. As Subotić turns 70, there are 70 women’s organizations in the area, with over 7,000 members. On her 70th birthday, Varađanin continues, Subotić becomes the president of the most recent women’s organization in the Kingdom of Serbia, The Circle of Serbian Sisters (Kolo srpskih sestara), which pursued goals mainly related to charity. She is also in charge of another charity women’s organization in Belgrade, the Princess Ljubica Society (Društvo kneginje Ljubice) and a member of the Women’s Society (Žensko društvo) in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia. Varađanin highlights that Subotić had done a lot for women’s education as well, initiating in 1870 the establishment of three Serbian High School for Girls in Vojvodina, Hungary. Even though there are “still dissenting voices” to women’s education, Varađanin believes that Subotić inspired the establishment of schools in “Serbia, Montenegro and now the schools for girls are established in Old Serbia as well.” With the help of these schools (meaning, the school for girls with Serbian as a teaching language), “the Serbian women’s spirit is now more cheerful, progressive and patriotic,” which is important for the national interest. Moreover, in 1891, when the law was passed for the mandatory children’s kindergartens, Subotić collected money to open a Serbian kindergarten in Novi Sad, so that the national language and religion would not be “killed.” Subotić has also published aphorisms and various articles, Varađanin reminds the listeners. Besides Varađanin’s speech the article gives a short letter by Savka Subotić, who writes from Paris, in which she thanks for the celebration, and emphasizes that all of her ideas were carried out by the “daughters” of Novi Sad and that it is their celebration as much as it is hers.

TITLE: The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women. DESCRIPTION: This is an unsigned report on the first assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), established several months earlier, in March 1902 in Novi Sad (Újvidék) in the Vojvodina. The Vojvodina belonged to the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia which enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, or Hungary, in the dual Monarchy (from 1867) of Austria-Hungary. Serbian was one of the dominant languages spoken in the Vojvodina.Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. The article was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women). The journal was published between 1886 and 1914 in Novi Sad (Újvidék), the Vojvodina, by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). The editor of the journalwas Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and who was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad, in 1874. The article reports that 17 cooperatives had joined the alliance unconditionally, whereas the cooperative of Velika Kikinda had joined it conditionally, proposing to first collect a certain amount of money and only then to form an alliance. The cooperatives were from the following towns: Bosanska Dubica, Novi Sad (Újvidék), Srpski Bečej (Óbecse), Sombor (Zombor), Subotica (Szabadka), Sentomaš (Szenttamás), Stari Futoš, Bela Crkva (Fehértemplom, Weißkirchen), Pančevo (Pancsova), Veliki Bečkerek (Nagybeckerek), Zagreb, Zemun (Zimony, Semlin), Mitrovica, Sremski Karlovci (Karlóca, Karlowitz), Temišvar (Timișoara, Temesvár, Temeswar), Osijek (Eszék, Esseg), Bosanski Petrovac, Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda). The Women’s Society in Belgrade has sent a delegate. The text describes that on the day of the assembly, the guests from fourteen towns, the girls from the Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad, and their teachers formed a long line on the streets of Novi Sad on their way to the church. Afterwards, they went to a meeting at the seat of Matica Srpska (“matica,” or a foundation for the promotion of the national culture), the oldest cultural-scientific Serbian institution, founded in 1826 in Pest and moved to Novi Sad in 1864). Julka Radovanović, the principle of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad opened the assembly. Three presidents were elected (Julka Radovanović from Novi Sad, Milesa Ćurčinov from Pančevo, and Jelena Jovanović from Zageb), as well as several secretaries of the alliance. Isidora Sekulić (1877-1958), a writer and teacher, was one of these secretaries. On the occasion, the secretary of the Novi Sad cooperative Arkadije Varađanin held a speech, published in whole as part of the report summarized here. Some of the issues Varađanin mentions in his speech are: the “Ottoman force…extinguishing the political life” of Serbs; Serbian women transferring “the old fame and the ancient heroes” for four centuries; national singers who adopt the women’s songs and stories; Serbian women helping their “brothers”; the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women cherishing the “flame of national patriotism.” The elected secretary from Zagreb, Milica Ćukov, also held a speech, mentioning that the Serbian people are endangered, especially the peasants who are “the main and the strongest foundation of our natural organism.” She calls for the cooperation and association of all Serbian people men and women. The article further discusses the clauses of the statute of the Alliance. On the evening the same day, there was a party during which Savka Subotić held a speech, in which she talked about her own initiative in 1864 to establish the first women’s association, when, so she describes the situation back then, many (mostly older) people negatively reacted to her idea. Subotić mentioned that among the first people who supported her initiative were Jovan Andrejević (1833-1864, a doctor, journalist and one of the founders of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad) and his wife Ilka Andrejević. Jelena Ilka (Andrejević) Marković was born in 1845 in the family Bajić in Sopron, Hungary. She lived with her first husband Jovan Andrejević in Novi Sad. After his early death, she married Jevrem Marković, brother of Svetozar Marković, and moved to Serbia. Close to the socialist, anarchist and feminist ideas of the 1860s and 1870s, Ilka Marković is known in the history of Serbia for attempting to assassinate the king of Serbia Milan Obrenović in 1882, shooting him in a church in Belgrade. She was found dead in prison in 1883. Subotić is especially thankful to Jovan and Ilka Andrejević.
