TITLE: St. Nicolas Institute in Trieste. DESCRIPTION: Marija Skrinjar (1857-1931) was a Slovene social worker, and one of the founders of the journal Slovenka, published in Trieste. The author of the article is one of the founders of Zavodsv. Nikolaja (St Nicholas Institute), was established in Trieste in 1898 for protection of unemployed servants in this multicultural city, the main port of the Habsburg Empire. Most of the servants cared for by the institute were of Slovene ethnic origin, but also of Croat, Serb, Czech, Slovak, Polish, and Malorussian ethnicity. During twenty years, the institute supported more than 22.000 servants, who were often at the mercy of their Italian-speaking employers, without their rights respected, and at the risk of being involved in prostitution and trafficking. After twenty years of existence, the institute became, Skrinjar claims, a real women’s Slavic Home in Trieste, a place of gathering and mutual support for working class women of Slavic ethnicity. The former clients would later became mothers who continued the upbringing of their children in the Slovene national spirit, thus resisting the assimilation of the Slovene population. Skrinjar emphasizes how the security of female youth leads to the safe and nationally conscious motherhood and thus ensures the future of the nation. Besides its Italian-speaking majority population, Trieste, the main city of the Austrian Littoral, had a considerable Slovene ethnic minority, coming from the immediate Slovene-populated hinterland, and from other Slovene lands, in search for employment. In the first decade of the 20th century, it became the biggest “Slovene” town, having more Slovene population than Ljubljana. The minority position within this rich merchant city lead the Slovene middle class to establish the institutions for the preservation of their ethnic language and identity. The first, and one of the most influential women’s publishing projects in Slovene language, the journal Slovenka (Slovene woman) was published in Trieste from 1897, serving as the springboard to many Slovene writers and social and feminist activists.

TITLE: Tour of the Delegates of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance to Prague. DESCRIPTION: Olga Stránská (1873-1927) was a Czech speaking journalist, politician, social worker and women’s rights activist. On their way to the congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in Budapest in 1913 some of the delegates visited Prague and met with the Czech women’s activists. In her article, Stránská describes her impressions from their visit. In the text, we can observe the tension between the “national” and the “international.” The position of the Czech nation within the Monarchy strongly shapes the author’s assessment of the transnational feminism. According to the author "internationality of feminism" is inherent only to women from independent nations. These, according to her, don’t understand the Czech national struggles. She expresses fondness with women from the non-dominant, and in her view oppressed nations. She describes, for instance, her interview with the Finnish deputy Jenny Forselles on the similarity of the situation of Czech and Finnish women.

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: Women's Reading Room. DESCRIPTION: The author of this article was Milica Tomić (1859-1944), a writer, editor and a public activist for women’s rights born and based in Novi Sad (Újvidék), 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. Milica Tomić published numerous works on the subject of women’s rights, education and emancipation. Her central endeavor was founding the periodical Žena (The Woman) in 1911, which she herself edited from 1911 until 1921 (because of the First World War, the periodical was not published from 1915 to 1917). In 1881, she was hired to work for the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women in Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja). See, “Rad dobrotvornih zadruga [The Work of Charitable Cooperatives],” Ženski svet, January 5, 1886. Milica Tomić cooperated with Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948), a prominent Hungarian feminist, and their correspondence was published in one of the issues of Žena. In this article, Milica Tomić argues that the establishment of women’s reading rooms should be the beginning of a more intensive work in the field of “progress and education of our women.” She describes how she participated (in 1910) in establishing a reading room in Novi Sad. This reading room differs from men’s reading rooms, as well as from women’s reading rooms “in the West.” Initially, “seven years earlier,” Tomić and her female friends would meet every Thursday to read together. They would all add some money to the common budget each time they would meet. Around Christmas, the members would use the money to help a poor child or a poor old lady. When the education in national languages was “endangered” by a law initiated in Hungary, the women collected thirty thousand signatures of women against this initiative. Then, the women (at first five, then fifteen of them) had an agreement to establish a public reading room for all women, including those from the poorest families. In order to involve women from other classes, some of whom could not even read, they decided to have meetings where they would read out loud. The organization was officially established in Novi Sad under the name Women’s Reading Room ‘Posestrima’(Ženska čitaonica ‘Posestrima’, a descriptive translation is “the reading room where women become sisters”). As reported, the government didn’t accept the use of the name in Serbian when they registered the organization. The reading room also functioned as a library with about 300 books. There were initially 170 members. The meetings were attended by many peasant women. Tomić mentions the activities they would all perform in villages together, and that a certain feeling of community was created. In the end, she argues that this kind of organization would bring (Serbian) women of different classes together, which would further lead to progress. She ends the text with an exclamation: “We must go forward! (Napred se mora!)” KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; Reading room; Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Nation-Building; Women and Relationship Between Nations in the Empire; Women and Struggle Between Nations in the Empire; National Identity; Empire Silenced; Social Reform and Political Activism; Multi-Ethnic Participation in Social Movements; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Political and Human Rights; Nationality Rights; Social and Cultural Rights; Women and Education; Education in National Languages; Access to Higher Education; Access to Primary Education/Literacy; Gendered Education; Women as Teachers; Education as a Source of Women’s Emancipation; Habsburg Empire; Hungary; Vojvodina; Novi Sad; Serbia
