TITLE: The Reunion of Romanian Women from the District of Hunedoara, 1886-1911. DESCRIPTION: This document is a monograph of the Hunedoara/Hunyad district incarnation of the Reuniunea Femeilor Române/ Reunion of Romanian Women. The text was most likely authored by Elena Pop Hossu Longin, as it was also published as a part of her 1932 memoirs. Within the loose network of Women’s Reunions (i.e., Women’s Associations in Transylvania), the Hunedoara Reunion was focused on ethnic Romanian, peasant women and the association’s professed valorisation of peasant women’s labour. Elena Pop Hossu Longin (1862-1940) served as President of the Reunion of Romanian Women in Hunedoara/Vajdahunyad/Eisenmarkt between 1895 and 1919, and she was a founder, in 1880, of the Reunion of Romanian Women in Sălaj/Szilàgy county. See also, Augustin Vicas, XXV ani din viaţa Reuniunei Femeilor Române Sălăgene: 1881-1906 [Twenty-Five Years of the Reunion of Romanian Women, 1881-1906] (Simleul Silvaniei: Institutul Tipografic “Victoria,” 1906). Educated at Johanna Schreiber’s “Santa Maria” secondary school in Budapest, she was part of a politically-minded family. Her father, Gheorghe Pop de Băsești (1835-1919), was a landowner and a leader of the Romanian National Party in Transylvania. See also, “Emilia Dr. Ratiu to Gheorghe Pop de Basesti” (Letter, Turda, November 25, 1893), 780/1893, Fond 1246 Personal Fond Dr. Ioan Ratiu, ff. 1-2, Romania. Arhivele Nationale. Arhivele Nationale Istorice Centrale Bucharest. Elena Pop Hossu Longin’s husband, lawyer Francisc Hossu-Longin (1847-1935), was a prominent supporter of the “activist” stance among Transylvanian Romanian nationalists. He advocated participation in the Hungarian Parliament rather than the “passivist” strategy of boycotting Hungarian parliamentary institutions. Elena Pop Hossu Longin gained prominence in the Romanian-language public sphere in 1918, when she published an impassioned article titled “The Greeting of Romanian Women,” arguing that the union of Transylvania with Romania was a reward for Romanian women’s suffering for the children fighting the Great War and mentioning women as supportive participants in men’s deliberations on the union. Part of her documents are stored in the Special Collections section of the Central University Library in Cluj Napoca (Romania), while another part is stored by the Sibiu County Direction of the Romanian National Archives and will be available to the public in the near future. ¶ This monograph traces the activity of the Reunion from its beginning as a collector and supporter among peasant women of home-made clothing, untainted by “foreign” patterns and techniques to the 1907 opening of an Atelier for Home Industry and its successful functioning in the following five years. Inspired by similar initiatives by Princess Elisabeth in the Romanian Kingdom, the monograph shows that the company Atelier, which employed up to twenty peasant women, supplied middle-class families with the folk costumes that had become customary at gatherings and celebrations by the 1910s. Earlier, in 1897, with the mediation of the Reunion, a Viennese firm exhibited Hunedoara home industry items in its shop in Vienna. In the same year, at the request of Baroness Elena Dithfurth (Baroness Helena von Dithfurth), the Reunion sent items to an exhibition in “Tatatovaros, Pojon county” (Tata-Tóváros, near Tata, in fact) as a form of support and fund collection for flood victims in Upper Hungary (present day Slovakia). The monograph also contains the text of the original Statutes, a list of members and the donations received following regular appeals to the network of Romanian banks in the province. ¶ The monograph illuminates the activity of one of the most visible associations in the loose network of women’s Reunions in Transylvania. It also highlights the preoccupation with home industry, seen as a middle ground between traditional peasant occupations and waged labour, present in the articulation of the “woman question” among nationalist leaders, since the 1880s. At the same time, preoccupation for peasant craft and architecture characterized middle class culture in the whole of Austria-Hungary during the 19th century, partly as a reaction to urbanization. The monograph documents participation in events that stressed the multiethnic character of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, among which craft exhibitions. The celebration of peasant crafts and rural diversity was integral to the Austrian side of the Dual Monarchy’s justification of empire as protection of multiculturalism.

TITLE: Revolutionary Woman: A True Event. DESCRIPTION: Marija Jurić Zagorka (1873-1956) was a Croatian feminist, the first female political journalist, editor of women’s magazines, and the most popular Croatian writer. The newspaper article, published in two parts in the daily Obzorin 1901, is a fictionalized account of the author’s own experience of being married to a Hungarian official and living in Hungary. As a young woman, Marica Klupićeva is not satisfied with her life among foreigners, and secretly subscribes to the Croatian culture magazine Vienac. It is a form of rebellion against her husband, who forbids her the use of Croatian language and limits her economic independence. The author depicts a vivid image of provincial Hungarian men, her husband, the apothecary and the postman, who are outraged by the young wife’s insubordination, accusing her of Pan-Slavism and revolutionary tendencies. The story ends with the protagonist leaving her husband and returning to Croatia, while the accusations of being a dangerous revolutionary later reverberate in her opponents’ articles and letters from Hungary. Zagorka later made this episode an integral part of her autobiographical novel “Kamenna cesti” (A Stone on the road), published in 1937. It is also included in her other autobiographical texts and memoirs, as well as in the biographical article written by Adela Milčinović (20460). All these texts demonstrate Zagorka’s understanding of the importance of woman’s economic independence, patriotism, and the participation in public life, often seen by the society as a manifestation of rebellion or a revolution. Being denied further education and forced to be married to a foreigner by her parents when she was only 17 years old, the author effectively links patriarchy and Magyar domination in the Hungarian part of the Empire. Keywords: Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Relationship Between Nations in the Empire; Political and Human Rights; Equal Rights for Women; Habsburg Empire

TITLE: The Alliances of Serbian Women. DESCRIPTION: This article is an unsigned text, giving information on various Serbian women’s associations (societies, cooperatives) in Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It was published in Ženski svet. List dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja (Women’s World: Journal of the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women), a journal 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 article reports that there are over 150 Serbian women’s associations, 86 of which are in Austria-Hungary, including Bosnia and Herzegovina. Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. As the text describes, after the failed initiative of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad in the year 1903 to gather all the Serbian women’s associations in one alliance (the government refused to allow this step), three separate alliances have been successfully initiated in Serbia in 1906, in Zagreb, the capital city of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, in 1910, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1911. The text further describes the differences between the three alliances. The associations within the Habsburg Empire are primarily charitable. Whereas women in Serbia can aspire to more internationalist causes, Serbian women in Austria-Hungary are deprived of the possibility to work “side by side Western women,” and “end up” focusing primarily on national interests. These statements refer to the historical fact that women’s organizations of the non-dominant nationalities in Austria and Hungary could not affiliate independently, or fully equally, with the international women’s organizations; see Susan Zimmermann, “The Challenge of Multinational Empire for the International Women’s Movement: The Habsburg Monarchy and the Development of Feminist Inter/National Politics,” in Globalizing Feminisms, 1789-1945, ed. Karen Offen (London, England: Routledge, 2010), 153–69, 367–73. These conditions are illustrated by the report on the declared aims of the Alliance of Serbian Women in Austria-Hungary (Austro-Ugarski Savez Srpkinja, the meeting was held in Zagreb in May 1912), as well as the declared aims of the Alliance of Serbian Women in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Srpkinja, Bosna i Hercegovina). The author of the article argues that one more aim should be added to the declared aims of the alliances: better-of Serbian families shall take Serbian girls and boys from poor families into their own homes as domestic workers. This is described as a charitable endeavor. The author describes in detail how this project would work and what the benefits for the Serbian people would be. The plan includes the establishment of domestic schools.

TITLE: Slovenian Woman. DESCRIPTION: The book is published on the occasion of the celebration of 25 years of existence of Splošnoslovenskoženskodruštvo (General Slovene Women’s Society), the most important association of Slovene-speaking women in the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Twenty-eight chapters, written by 24 authors (18 of them women, affiliated with Splošnoženskodruštvo), present an extensive overview of public activities of Slovene women during history and in modern times. The historical chapters contain information on Slovene women in medieval history, Turkish wars, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, peasants’ revolts, the Baroque period, among aristocracy and in oral epic poetry. Biographies of women painters, writers, actresses, singers, musicians, and dancers, active from the 19th century until the publication of the book, contain valuable information on their careers. Special chapters are devoted to women’s organizations, education, schools for domestic economy, teachers, popular arts and crafts, working women, women in trade and crafts, and in various professions. The most prominent leaders, activists and journalists active in Splošnoženskodruštvo and in women’s movements are presented in individual chapters: Franja Tavčarjeva, Elvira Dolinarjeva, Ivanka Anžič-Klemenčičeva, Alojzija Štebi, and Minka Govekarjeva, the editor of the volume. The final chapter is devoted to Slovene women in foreign countries, including Egypt. Although the book is published a decade after the demise of the Habsburg Empire, it still provides one of the most extensive coverage of the activities of Slovene women during the Empire and the beginnings of the women’s movement in Slovene lands, collected and written by the activists themselves. Particularly valuable are chapters on women writers, on women’s organizations (Alojzija Štebi: “Aktivnostslovenskežene”, pp. 161-185), and on the history of Splošnoslovenskoženskodruštvo (by Minka Govekarjeva). A wealth of bibliographical information makes this document a primary source for further research, together with all Slovene journals containing texts by women authors. Keywords: Women and Practices/Cultures of Empire; Women and Nation within Empire; Women and Nation-Building; National Identity; Political and Human Rights; Social and Cultural Rights; Suffrage; Equal Rights for Women; Women and Education; Access to Higher Education; Gendered Education; Education in National Languages; Women as Teachers; Education as Source of Women’s Emancipation; Women and Migration

TITLE: Obstacles to the Establishment of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women. DESCRIPTION: The article reports the obstacles to the establishment of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women (Dobrotvorne zadruge Srpkinja) in several towns in the Vojvodina (for example, Čurug, Kovilj, Žabalj). 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 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 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 usual reason why the associations or cooperatives (zadruge) of Serbian women could not be established is because the officials would reject them the right to establish nationally marked associations. The letters of rejection would say that only educational institutions may carry a national character, and the author of the text argues that the aims of the women’s associations were, in fact, purely charitable and educational. The text ends asking from Serbian women to continue sending their pleas to establish the organizations to the officials.

TITLE: Dear Board [1] (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 arepresentative 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 letter ‘Szanowny Zarządzie (Listopad 1915) [Dear Board (November 1915)]’ is written by Anioła Krzyżanowska, secretaire, and Jadwiga Strikowa, chairwomen to announce the founding of a “Central Committee of Stars for the Legionaries in Cracow (Krakowie Komitet Centralny gwiazdkowy dla Legionistów),” a female supoort committe for the paramilitary organization fighting for the independence of Poland. It was addressed to the ruling board of the Women’s League. The Committee was supported by several central and local boards of the League.

TITLE: Dear Board [2] (Cracow, November, 1915). DESCRIPTION: The archive of Jagiellonian Library in Cracow contains unpublished material of Zofia Daszynska-Golinska (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. Daszynska-Golinska 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 Daszynska-Goli?ska: records from meetings and policy papers about 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 Daszynska-Golinska. The letter ‘Szanowny Zarzadzie (Kraków w listopadzie 1915) [Dear Board (Cracow, November, 1915)]’ is written by Aniola Krzyzanowska, secretaire, and Jadwiga Strikowa, chairwomen of the “Central Committee of Stars for the Legionaries in Cracow (Krakowie Komitet Centralny gwiazdkowy dla Legionistów)”, a female support committe for the paramilitary organization fighting for the independence of Poland. It was addressed to the ruling board of the Women’s League and announced the need of socks and towels for the fighters.
