TITLE: Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association between 1912–1932, on the Occasion of its Seventy-Year Jubilee. DESCRIPTION: Clothilde Dähn (1867-1932) describes the history of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association (Augustan Confession) (Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenverein A.B.) beginning from 1912. For an earlier history, see Richard Alberti, Jahresbericht über die Tätigkeit des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B. im Jahre 1910 (49. Vereinsjahr) [Yearly Activity Report of the Bistritz Evangelical Women’s Association for 1910 (Forty-Ninth Year)] (Bistriz: Verlag des Bistritzer evang. Ortsfrauenvereins A. B., 1911). Yearly reports had not been published since 1915. Dähn became second president of the Association in 1910 and was its president between 1914 and 1932. The association was started as a local initiative in 1862. By 1910, the Bistritz/Bistrița/Beszterce Evangelical Women’s Association operated as the local chapter of the General Women’s Association of the Transylvanian Evangelical Church (Augustan Confession) (Allgemeiner Frauenverein der evangelischen Landeskirche A.B. in Siebenbürgen). The General Association was founded in 1884, a move which was aimed at unifying associations of Lutheran women under the Transylvanian Evangelical Church. The Transylvanian Evangelical Church enjoyed far-reaching autonomy within the Hungarian Kingdom after the Austro-Hungarian “Compromise” of 1867. It functioned as the key institution of the self-government of the German-speaking Saxon population of Transylvania, Hungary. The Bistritz Association was one of many local associations of Lutheran women in Transylvania. The association had run a kindergarten since 1886, a medical care centre (Krankenpflegeanstalt) since 1898, a soup kitchen since 1911, and an orphanage since 1914. The surge of enthusiasm at the outbreak of the Great War drove members to exchange six thousand crown worth of golden jewelry for iron rings in the Central Powers’ military fundraising programme, “I Gave Gold for Iron.” With the war wearing on, they participated in the effort by knitting woolen clothing for soldiers in the front lines and by supporting families left behind. The brochure gives detailed information on functionaries, members, and donations. KEYWORDS: Peace and War, International Governance and International Law; War; Women’s Participation in War Effort; Social Reform and Political Activism; Political Parties and Other Male Dominated Organizations; Child Care; Women and Sexuality, Birth Control and Health; Women as Medical Professionals; Habsburg Empire; War bonds; Funds and Donations; World War I

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
