TITLE: A Call for Subscription for "The Serbian Woman." DESCRIPTION: This article is a call, 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 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. The editor of the journal was 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 book, The Serbian Woman, her Life and Work, her Cultural Development and her Folk Art up to Date (Srpkinja, njezin život i rad, njezin kulturni razvitak i njezina narodna umjetnost do danas), edited by Serbian women writers, was published in 1913 by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian women in Irig (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Iriškinja), Vojvodina. The book includes the review of the work of 60 Serbian women storytellers, poets, artists, etc. It is described as precious because it shows that Serbian women are not altruistic women who heal the wounds of Serbian soldiers, but also cultural workers. Some of the authors of the book, mentioned in the article, are: Jelica Belović-Bernardzikovski, Zora Prica (Belgrade), Maga Magazinović (Belgrade) and Darinka Bulja (Vilovo). The book is dedicated to Savka Subotić. The call is signed by the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women in Irig, the secratary Stevan Radić and the president Zorka Živković.

TITLE: Statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina. DESCRIPTION: This article discusses a statute of the Alliance of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), created during the general assembly of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) from Novi Sad in February 1902, and signed by Arkadije Varađanin, secretary, and Julka Radovanović, principal. The text 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 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. The editor of Ženski svetwas Arkadije Varađanin, a man who was an active proponent of women’s rights and was a teacher and director of the Serbian High School for Girls established in Novi Sad in 1874. 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 reports that the alliance is established in the form of cooperative and the statute has 30 clauses. The clauses define the goals of the alliance with regard to the realms of charitable, educational and economic work. The goals include: to establish new Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women; to collect money in case of floods or fire “in our country or outside of it”; to assist the “Red Cross” society in case of war in the “fatherland” or “other areas where Serbian people live”; to build shelters for orphans and old people; to establish schools for children where they would be trained to be good, hardworking and develop proper morals; to help prepare good and honest domestic tutors and teachers for better-off Serbian households; to establish schools for women’s handicraft and places where these products would be sold; to teach the members to be frugal in order to have a good and progressive household. The alliance has a common budget. The direction of the alliance is set in Novi Sad. The official language of the alliance is Serbian, and the Cyrillic the official alphabet. For the report on the first meeting of representatives of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women, published in Ženski svet in June 1902, see “Prva skupština Saveza Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja [The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women],” Ženski svet, January 6, 1902.

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: Prologue; To Croatian Ladies! DESCRIPTION: Marija Fabković (née Frechova, 1833-1915) was Croatian pedagogue of Czech origin, the first qualified female teacher of physical education working in Croatia. The document contains two parts, the foreword and the afterword, titled “To Croatian Ladies!” to the book by Czech-American journalist Karel Jonaš (Charles Jonas) “Žena u družtvenostiljudskoj, osobito u Inglezkoji u Americi” (The woman in human society, especially in England and in America). This was the first, and the only book that Fabković published in her series Ženskabiblioteka (Women’s Library) in 1872. In the foreword, the author deplores the advanced Germanization she encountered in the city of Zagreb, especially among women. Fabković hoped that the newly founded book series will incite the interest among Croatian women, bringing them popular works in various fields of knowledge translated to Croatian language. In the afterword, Fabković refers to the activities and experiences of the women’s associations from Prague, tackling the issues of education, nationality, class and suffrage. She appeals to the Zagreb city administration to provide free space for the school for girls that would educate them in national spirit. The text also contains the full program of trade and craft courses for girls, established in the city of Prague by the Czech Women’s Manufacturing Society, presided by Karolina Světlá and Sofia Podlipska, with whom Fabković corresponded. Fabković ends her text by expressing her hope that Croatian ladies would not lag behind their “co-sisters” from the Czech lands. Marija Fabković sought to transplant the practices and the experiences of contemporary Czech women’s associations to Croatia. However, the series Woman’s Library did not continue beyond the first volume, since it failed to attract enough subscribers. Until the end of the Habsburg Empire, the successes of the Czech women’s movement, often reported in women’s magazines, remained the primary source of inspiration for women activists and writers from the South Slavic lands. Keywords: Women and Nation within Empire; Relations between Women of Different Nationalities; Women and Practices/Cultures of Empire; Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Women and Education; Education as a Source of Women’s Emancipation; Access to Primary Education/Literacy; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Habsburg Empire

TITLE: “Statement to the Revered Slovak Audience” in Živena: National Almanac. DESCRIPTION: The text is a declaration of the leaders of Živena to a Slovak audience, published in 1872. Živena was the first women’s association of Slovak women (women identifying themselves with the Slovak nation), founded in 1869.The text is signed by Anna Pivková (1835-1921), the first chairwoman of the association, Ambro Pietor (1843-1906), the secretary of the association, and Anna Mudroňová (1864-1954), the treasurer of the association. The support for women’s education is presented as a national question. In order for the Slovak nation to be strong, it is necessary for education to affect all its members - so also Slovak women. The main goal of the association was therefore to support the education of Slovak women in the national language. The text emphasizes that the education of individuals and nations begins at the home hearth, and women as educators are therefore an important factor in national awareness. The association planned to achieve its goals by establishing schools for girls in Slovak language. The authors turn to “Slovak parents”, “fathers and brothers” and “mothers and sisters” requesting their support. According to the text the household continues to constitute the main field of women’s activity; education is to make women into good Christians, housekeepers, and patriots. See also, Ambróz Pietor, “Slovenky pozor! [Slovak Women, Beware!],” Národní hlásník [National Watchman] 2, no. 6 (1869): 169–73 (5pp.); and “Úloha ‘Živeny’ [Mission of ‘Živena’],” in Živena.

TITLE: The Work of Charitable Cooperatives. DESCRIPTION: The text is a report on the work of three different charitable cooperatives (zadruge) of Serbian women in Vojvodina and Hungary. 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 major languages spoken in the Vojvodina. The three segments of the text are about the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Újvidék) (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja), the Women’s Charitable Cooperative in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda) (Velikokikindska ženska dobrotvorna zadruga) and the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Segedin (Szeged) (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Segedinkinja), respectively. 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). It was edited by 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 first part of the article reports that the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was established in 1880, but that the idea of cooperation had emerged already in 1867 when Mrs. Tomenović – on someone’s incentive– brought together Serbian women. See also, “40-godišnja proslava prve ženske zadruge u N. Sadu [Celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the First Women’s Cooperative in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, January 2, 1907. Many Serbs, including Prince Mihailo, contributed financially to this organization. In this way, the article aims to show that Serbian men and women were the ones who established the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. The author of the text, however, complains that “the non-Serbian sisters” ignored this “sacrifice for this universal human cause” and did not care sufficiently about the needs of the Serbian people, which resulted in Serbian women’s absence from this organization in the end. Consequently, Serbian women established a new women’s organization, Women’s Committee (Ženski odbor), which in 1870 advocated for the establishment of the first High School for girls in Vojvodina, collected contributions for the publication of Serbian romantic poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj’s poetry collection. Also, the women from the committee helped their Serbian “brothers,” who fought for freedom in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina by taking care of them. In 1880, the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was established on the model of women’s cooperatives previously established in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda) and Bečej (Óbecse). The first activity of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad was the collection of money for the “brotherly town of Zagreb” that had been hit by an earthquake the same year. The second part of the article gives information about the Women’s Charitable Cooperative in Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda), the oldest Serbian women’s cooperative established in 1873, whose aim was to help poor widows, orphans and sick people and to educate poor children. Finally, the third part is about the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Segedin (Szeged), established in 1875 with the primary aim of preserving the Serbian nation.

TITLE: Report of the Committee of the Reunion of Romanian Women to the General Assembly held on 11/23 October 1892. DESCRIPTION: This document is a report on the reasons for calling an extra-ordinary General Assembly of the Reunion of Romanian Women from Brașov/Brassó/Kronstadt. The Reuniunea Femeilor Române/ The Reunion of Romanian Women of Brașov was founded in 1850. Its stated aim was to raise “poorer Romanian girls, and especially those who became orphans through the death of (both) parents during the Transylvanian-Hungarian civil war of 1848-1849.” The “civil war” mentioned was occasioned by many Transylvanian Romanian’s participation in the defeat of 1848 Hungarian revolutionaries, as a part of the imperial army. ¶ The document mentions that the General Assembly was called following a request by the Ministry of the Interior that the association’s Statutes be clarified or changed. In October 1892, the Office of the Viscount in Brașov, representing the Ministry had asked the Reunion for evidence of Empress Elisabeth’s acceptance of the status of Patron of the Reunion, mentioned in its 1854 Statutes. The document details that the association was also required to report on its patrimony and expenses and clarify in what way it continued to care for girls orphaned by the 1848 Revolution. This document mentions that the Reunion supplied documents of a donation of 750 florins made by the Empress in 1854, and it gives details on the Reunion’s history and functioning. It also mentions that in its answer to the Viscount, the Reunion argued that following the official donation by the Empress on the occasion of her marriage, it considered Elisabeth “its natural patron.” The document states that, at the further request of the Brașov Viscount, references to Elisabeth were omitted and the goals of the association were rewritten. As such, this document announces that the new goals of the Brașov Women’s Reunion were “to raise orphan girls by founding professional and learning schools [întemeierea scolilor de lucru și de învățătură] and through material aid.” ¶ The document is part of a series concerning the administrative back-and-forth between the Reunion of Romanian Women in Brașov and municipal authorities, representing the Hungarian government in the 1890s. See also, Sterie N. Ciurcu, “Sterie N. Ciurcu to Lazar Nastasy, 18 November 1892” (Letter, Wien [Vienna], November 18, 1892), 5875/1892, Fond 1299, Societatea Reuniunea Femeilor Romane din Brasov, ff.1-3, Romania. Arhivele Nationale. Serviciul Judetean al Arhivelor Nationale Brasov; Reuniunea Femeilor Romane Brasov, “Reuniunea Femeilor Romane to the City Magistrate, 1/13 November 1892” (Letter, Brașov, November 1, 1892), 5869/1892, Fond 1299, Societatea Reuniunea Femeilor Romane din Brasov, Romania. Arhivele Nationale. Serviciul Judetean al Arhivelor Nationale Brasov; and Reuniunea Femeilor Române Brașov, “Simțindu-se încă de mult lipsa unei scóle practice, 6 iunie 1893 [Given the Lack of a Practical School: Statutes, 6 June 1893, with Penciled Comments by the Representative of the Hungarian Ministry of Internal Affairs, November 1894]” (Statutes, Brașov, November 1894), 5904/1893 and 5960/1783, Fond 1299, Societatea Reuniunea Femeilor Romane din Brasov, ff. 4-10, Romania. Arhivele Nationale. Serviciul Judetean al Arhivelor Nationale Brasov. Together, these items illuminate the way in which imperial bureaucratic practices mediated nationalist struggles. For instance, it is easy to surmise that the proud goal of caring for orphans of the 1848 “civil war” may not have resonated with the Hungarian administration. This particular document also shows how Habsburg symbols (i.e., Empress Elisabeth’s patronage) were part of symbolic struggles between nationalist activists and the representatives of the centralizing Hungarian Kingdom within the Dual Monarchy. It is significant that Empress Elisabeth enjoyed a popular cult in Hungary, where she was seen as a Habsburg supporter of Hungarian national aspirations, expressed in 1848-1849.
