TITLE: m g nc (Mrs. Gábor Magyar) to A Nő és a Társadalom szerkesztősége [Editorial Board of Woman and Society], Balmazújváros, 26 March 1919. DESCRIPTION: This card belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed. (Budapest: Magyar Élet kiadása, 1944), 231–243 (14pp.); as well as the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. The letter discusses the following issues: whether women’s suffrage will really become a reality; the activities of the women of Balmazújváros with regard to a petition to the King, referring also to the role of the local authorities, and, most likely in connection with the petition, the difficulties of the local population to sustain itself; the speech that will be given by the (moderate agrarian-socialist social democratic politician) Vilmos Mezőfi. KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; World War I; Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary Francis Joseph; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: 1913 Yearbook of the Hungarian Association against the Traffic in Girls. DESCRIPTION: The Hungarian Association against the Traffic in Girls (Magyar Egyesület a leánykereskedés ellen) came to existence in 1907 as a sister society of the British Vigilance Association with close connections to the international anti-trafficking movement. It received patronage from the highest ranks of Hungarian society, and by the year 1913, it was co-presided by the socially active Catholic bishop Ottokár Prohászka and the Calvinist prime minister István Tisza. Its broad mandate included as its central task the lobbying for the prohibition of procurement and for the punishment of pimps. In his keynote speech at that year’s plenary, Prohászka called for the closing down of brothels. The yearly report pointed out among the association’s successes that the Ministry of the interior had set an age limit of twenty for women who brothels could legally employ. Earlier, already upon their initiative, the Budapest police department had entrusted a vice squad with curbing illicit prostitution and had created ten new positions for detectives at railway stations to fight human trafficking networks. The association helped reformed prostitutes to find jobs, it founded a rescue home in 1912 and it relied on its foreign contacts to investigate missing women. Its activists were present at railway stations, at police departments, where they tried to deter young girls from registering as prostitutes, and they carried out core assessments in prostitutes’ quarters. The association also had a role in the Hungarian women’s movement. General Secretary Róza Latinovits (1877-1936) is described as the association’s founder, soul, and driving force. Key figures of the Hungarian women’s movement such as Auguszta Rosenberg (1859-1946), Emma Dessewffy (1859-1936) and Flóra Kozma Mrs. Perczel (1864-1925) carried out its patronage and social work. In 1913, Latinovits represented the association at the Fifth International Congress for the Suppression of the White Slave Traffic. In the same year, the association became one of the founding members of the National Alliance of the Associations Undertaking the Railway Mission (Pályaudvari Missziót Fenntartó Egyesületek Országos Szövetsége), which connected the work of a whole number of women’s associations of various denominations from Catholic to Jewish. KEYWORDS: Women Interacting with Women, Social Movements and Other Actors beyond Empire; Women and Institutions of Empire; Social Reform and Political Activism; Campaigns against Prostitution and Sex Trafficking Work and Class Identity; Sex Workers, Prostitution; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control and Health; Women and Religion; Habsburg Empire; Hungary

TITLE: Mrs. Dr. Jenö Erdélyi and Mrs. Imre Turcsányi, Feministák Szegedi Egyesülete to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association of Szeged to Feminist Association (in Hungary)], Szeged, 2 July 1916. DESCRIPTION: The Feminist Association of Szeged (Feministák Szegedi Egyesülete) during war time had been denied permission for a festive assembly. The Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete) at the time was the leading progressive-liberal women’s organization in Hungary. In this carefully designed document, the Feminist Association of Szeged responds to the incident, walking a discursive tightrope in terms of conyeying its critical views with regard to the Great War without going too far in terms of direct opposition. Referring to the war time relief work in which the group is involved, the unrelenting moral principles that inform its world view, exaggerated nationalism, and the yoke of the war-time political restrictions, the document declares: “We do the grand work at home with enthusiastic devotion, yet with our arms we reach out, so as to embrace to our heart the women of the whole world.” The great work that Róza Schwimmer (Rosika Schwimmer) does – the character of which is not made explicit – constitutes a manifesto that is to guide the Hungarian women’s movement. Further sections of the document give some of the atmosphere of intellectual and political oppression and hardship as felt by the group. The document is signed by Mrs. Erdélyi and Mrs. Turcsányi, in the name of the complete Board of the Feminist Association of Szeged. The Feminist Association had planned to hold a Congress in June 1916, yet did not receive the permission to do so. However, the speeches and other content of the Congress, including its annual report, could soon be published.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 1 December 1916. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on the activities of a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and their relationship with the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed.

The letter opens with the salutation “Esteemed Colleague (Tisztelt tagtárs).” Mrs. István Bordás reports that the effort of the women of Balmazújváros, in response to the letter by the Feminist Association, had been in vain: They had not been able to publish the cable to Emperor Francis Joseph in the local papers. Their request had been rejected with the argument that such “socialist meshwork (szocziálista fészek)” could not be published. The letter carries a stamp which reads “The Free Woman Organization (A Női Szabadszervezet), Balmazújváros.” See also, “Mrs. Gábor Magyar to Rosika Schwimmer, Balmazújváros, 3 June 1908” (Letter, Balmazújváros, June 3, 1908), P999 Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Box 3 Folder 5, Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár [National Archives of Hungary]; and “Mrs. András Juhász and Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association (in Hungary)], Balmazújváros, ca. 1910s” (Letter, Balmazújváros, 1910s), P999 Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Box 3 Folder 5, Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár [National Archives of Hungary].

She discusses how many issues of the journal she would like to receive, and some related matters, and relates that the journal “is held in very low esteem” because it is published only once a month. If it was published every day, that a child could be hired to sell it.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 6 August 1916. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and Mrs. István Bordás in particular, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed. (Budapest: Magyar Élet kiadása, 1944), 231–243 (14pp.); as well as the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. Mrs. Bordás reports that it has become very difficult to distribute the journal of the Feminist Association. (This is the new journal of the Association published since 1914.) Not only it is high harvest season and there is a lot of work, but also those who are not members of the organization of the women of Balmazújvaros have become “rogues,” saying that there is no need for journals, that bread is what is needed, and there is not enough of it any longer. They look into the clouds for God, while from the point of view of Mrs. Bordás, it would be better if the “earthly Gods would perish. In these, there is no human feeling any longer, they don’t have any pity for the peoples, the horrible hike in prices is unbearable. So, we just endure and suffer because we are women.” Mrs. Bordás often discusses with the working women in her spare time. “[T]he war has very much disturbed the peace of the people.” Mrs. Bordás orders only 25 copies of the next issues and will return unsold copies of the former issues later on. KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; World War I; Peasant Women’s Experience of War; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political and Human Rights; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Peasant Women’s Activism; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.

TITLE: Mrs. István Bordás to Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association], Balmazújváros, 12 January 1917. DESCRIPTION: The letter belongs to a group of letters, which gives information on a group of politically active peasant women from Balmazújváros, today North-Eastern Hungary, and Mrs. István Bordás in particular, and the relationship between them and the Feminist Association (Feministák Egyesülete). See also, Péter Veres, “A feministák [The Feminists],” in Falusi krónika [Village Chronicle], 2nd ed. (Budapest: Magyar Élet kiadása, 1944), 231–243 (14pp.); as well as the correspondence with Ferencz (Ferenc) Pokrócz (Pokróc), Mrs. Gábor Magyar, Mrs. István Bordás, Mrs. István Szabó, Rosika Schwimmer, and the Feministák Egyesülete [Feminist Association]. The letter opens with the salutation “Dear Colleague (Kedves tagtárs).” Mrs. Bordás confirms the receipt of 25 copies of the journal of the Feminist Association and repeats that it would be better if it was published daily. She also sends an article which she had written for the journal: “If it is in conformity with the censorship. I would like to write in a manner which would correspond better with [what I feel in] my heart.” Yet, an article written in this way would fall victim to the censorship anyway, “since at the present time it is off limits to write the truth.” KEYWORDS: Women and Institutions of Empire; World War I; Social Reform and Political Activism; Wartime Censorship; Work and Class Identity; Gender and Class; Peasant Women of Balmazújváros; Peasant Women’s Activism; Mrs. István Bordás Sára Rokon Tóth; Mrs. István Szabó; Mrs. József Deli; Habsburg Empire; Hungary.
