TITLE: B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to Rosika Schwimmer, Praha, 24 May 1913. DESCRIPTION: Letter by B. Sedláková-Seibertová and Marie Tůmová to the Hungarian Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete), the local organizer of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA which would be held in Budapest from 15 to 21 June 1913. The authors point to the fact that they have received a letter by Carrie Chapman Catt, the President of the IWSA, who is disappointed that Božena Viková-Kunětická will not participate in the congress because she is not allowed to speak in Czech, and “demands in a friendly manner” that representatives of the Czech Committee for Women’s Voting Rights (Výbor pro volební právo žen) shall be present at the congress. There is the intention to come to do so under the condition that the representatives of the Committee may speak in Slovene, as the national language admissible at the public meetings, as had been the case in Stockholm (at the sixth confrence of the IWSA in 1911) and had been promised to them. Part of the conflict with Viková-Kunětická derives from the fact that she had not been aware of this possibility, and that the Committee had not been involved before she had been invited. They assume that under the conditions they describe Viková-Kunětická would still accept the invitation, and it would give a “good impression” if an enfranchised woman from the other part of the Habsburg Monarchy would speak at the congress. The response is urgent.

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, Choctaw.

Title: Letter to Elsa Grailich, 2 July 1908. Description: The writer of the letter is Auguste Fickert (1855–1910). She was a school teacher in Vienna and an active member of the Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women's Association], one of the rather radical organisations of the Austrian bourgeois women's movements in terms of their political demands. The Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women's Association] committed to women's labor and employment and campaigned for improvements of proletarian women's lives. Fickert cooperated with proletarian organizations in campaigns and was active in the women's suffrage movement. Her first public political act was to organize a petition against the disfranchisement of women voters in government elections in Lower Austria. In 1899, she co-founded the journal of the General Austrian Women's Association, Dokumente der Frauen [Documents of Women], which is available full-text online through the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek’s AustriaN Newspapers Online (ANNO) [See: http://anno.onb.ac.at/]. The letter was addressed to Elsa Grailich (1880–1969). Grailich was a journalist and poet in Pressburg (Pozsony, Bratislava, in the Hungarian Kingdom, today Slovakia). She was active in the social-democratic movement and was engaged for better education and women's rights. In the Handschriftensammlung [Manuscript Department] of the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus [Vienna City Library], there are only the letters from Fickert to Grailich available. The answer letters from Grailich to Fickert are not part of the collection. In the letter from 2 July 1908, Fickert raises the attention of Grailich to an upcoming congress in London. In April 1909, the congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) took place in London. Fickert mentions that she would like to go, but she indicates that her financial situation would not allow to travel to the congress. Fickert asks Grailich, whether she would contribute to a questionnaire on education. This letter is one of several from Fickert to Grailich included in this digital archive. Keywords: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements, and Other Actors Beyond Empire; Women and Nation within Empire; Relations Between Women of Different Nationalities; Empire and Internationalism; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Habsburg Empire; Austria

Description: Letter from Calipso Botez to Elena Meissner, leader of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR), written on March 21, 1934. Calypso Botez was an important feminist figure of the interwar Romania, founding member of the feminist organizations AECPFR and Solidaritatea, president of the National Council of Romanian Women (CNFR, 1921 – 1930) and the first woman to hold a position in the Permanent Council of the Minister of Public Instruction. Starting with 1929, when partial political rights were granted to women, she supported the National Peasant Party (PNȚ) as the only party that promised firmly to support women’s enfranchisement in local elections. This letter tells the story of how enrolment or support of diverse political parties caused rifts between members of the feminist organizations. In 1934 a conflict between Calypso Botez and Elena Dimitriu Castană, the leader of the Constanța section of AECPFR, began due to their different political options (the latter was a member of the National Liberal Party). Botez tells Meissner in this letter how this conflict became public in that there were articles published in newspapers, articles in which the activity of Bucharest female councilors was deprecated.

DESCRIPTION: Handwritten letter by Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA, addressing “the women of the Balkan states,” asking them to send delegates to the upcoming seventh congress of the Alliance to be held in Budapest in June 1913, even as their nations are at war. The letter refers to Balkan Wars, which began on 8 October 1912. While there are conflicts between nations and classes “the subjection of women is common to all nations and all people” and the “joint efforts of the women of the world” are necessary to end this subjection.
