TITLE: International Council of Women and Serbian Women. DESCRIPTION: This article brings a text written by Miss. Jelena Lazarević, presented as “philosopher and a teacher in the High School for Girls in Belgrade (Serbia)” in the introduction. The document explains that Jelena Lazarević’s text was originally published in December 1906 in Domaćica (‘Housewife’), the official journal of Belgrade women’s association Women’s Society (Žensko društvo) and its branches in Serbia. This version of 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 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. In the article, Jelena Lazarević describes the history of the International Council of Women (ICW), the visit of Käthe Schirmacher to Belgrade with the purpose of establishing a contact with the women’s organizations in Serbia, and includes a letter by the ICW secretary to Kosara Cvetković from 1895, which invites Serbian women to establish a National Women’s Alliance which would then become a member of the International Council of Women. The author Jelena Lazarević explains how patriotism and charitable feelings motivated Serbian women to begin establishing patriotic associations and philanthropic institutions 30-40 years earlier. She talks about Serbian National Women’s Alliance (Srpski narodni ženski savez, established in 1906), which shall become a member of ICW. Then, she explains how the ICW was established, mentioning the names of the American May Wright Sewall (1844 –1920), who in 1886 established the National Council of Women of the United States, later inviting many other women to join the International Council. Lazarević reports there had been four congresses of the ICW since its establishment in 1888, and describes the goal of the Council as “the universal wellbeing of women, family and society.” The aim of the Serbian National Women’s Alliance, within the ICW, is to achieve a decent position within the international women’s movement for “Serbian women, Serbian mothers and united Serbian workers.” She reports that the establishment of the Serbian National Women’s Alliance was discussed in Paris in May 1906 under the “presidency (predsedništvo)” of Lady Aberdeen (Ishbel Gordon). Käthe Schirmacher (1865-1930) was the one chosen to go to Budapest, to answer some questions the “Hungarian women had when establishing their national women’s alliance” and to “as far as possible” talk to the Serbian women about it as well. Thus, Schirmacher visited Belgrade in November 1906. Schirmacher’s evaluation of the situation in Serbia was the following: unlike “in the West” where women are struggling economically and culturally in a different manner, Serbian women “remain wives and mothers,” in a way like women in Sweden; culture and tradition are crucial issues for Serbian women. Lazarević claims that if Schirmacher had visited Belgrade only two months later, she would have had the opportunity to also get to know a “feminist” association “in its full meaning” – a newly formed Association of Serbian Women Clerks (Udruženje srpskih žena činovnica), initiated by Dr. Haljecka. Lazarević adds that even though Serbian women characterized Schirmacher as a “chauvinist German woman,” they let her lead them and explain to them many things. In the second part of the article, Lazarević reports on the letter that Kosara Cvetković, a colleague of her working in the High School for Girls in Belgrade, had received from the secretary of International Council of Women in 1895, in which the secretary had invited Serbian women to join ICW. A year later, in 1896, Kosara Cvetković had sent the letter to Arkadije Varađanin, the editor of Ženski svet, asking him to publish the letter. Yet, it never happened, as both Cvetković and Varađanin thought it was not the right time. Eleven years after this letter, Jelena Lazarević concludes, there are finally some more concrete aspirations of Serbian women to become a part of the International Council of Women.

TITLE: Our National Embroideries at the Exhibition in Ischl. DESCRIPTION: This is a report on Slavic and Dalmatian national embroideries displayed in an exhibition in Ischl, Austria, written by Jelica Belović. Jelica Belović Bernadzikowski (1870-1946) was born in Osijek (Eszék, Esseg) in 1870 and died in 1946 in Novi Sad (Újvidék). Her public work includes teaching in different towns of Austria-Hungary, ethnographic and museum work, and publishing. Among her published work is Srpski narodni vez i tekstilna ornamentika [Serbian National Embroidery and Textile Ornamentation] in 1907, a book about the cultural history of South Slavs published in German under the name Jasna Belović in Dresden in 1927. She also published over twenty ethnographic, pedagogic and anthropological works. Belović edited the publication Srpkinja [Serbian Woman] about the intellectual work of Serbian women in 1913, writing in the introduction to this volume about the absence of women in literary history. This 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 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. In the article, Jelica Belović writes about the exhibition in Ischl where Slavic national embroideries were presented. She complains about the fact that “foreign pockets” are being filled up by selling the Slavic national embroideries copied and produced by Austrian women. She also complains that the origin of the exhibited embroideries is silenced and referred to as “antique” and “Old Egyptian,” while the origin is actually from the Serbian, Croatian, Dalmatian, Slovak, Czech, Little Russian and Polish parts of Austria(-Hungary). Being an expert herself, Belović describes in details how different embroideries are originally produced. Her tone is angry and in closing she states that for women “in our areas” it would be crucial to understand that apart from working in the house and for the house, they can also earn money by producing embroidery. For more on embroidery, see Savka Subotić, “Part I and Part II [Part I: First Attempts of My Work in the Field of our National Domestic Industry, and Part II: On the Exhibitions in Pest and in Novi Sad],” in O našim narodnim tkaninama i rukotvorinama [On Our National Textiles and Handicrafts] (Novi Sad, 1904), 1–55 (55pp.).
