TITLE: The First Assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women. DESCRIPTION: This is an unsigned report on the first assembly of the Alliance of Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women from Austria-Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Savez Dobrotvornih Zadruga Srpkinja iz Austro-Ugarske, Bosne i Hercegovine), established several months earlier, in March 1902 in Novi Sad (Újvidék) in the Vojvodina. 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.Austria-Hungary occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and fully annexed the territory in 1908. The province was jointly administered as a Condominium. 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 editor of the journalwas 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 17 cooperatives had joined the alliance unconditionally, whereas the cooperative of Velika Kikinda had joined it conditionally, proposing to first collect a certain amount of money and only then to form an alliance. The cooperatives were from the following towns: Bosanska Dubica, Novi Sad (Újvidék), Srpski Bečej (Óbecse), Sombor (Zombor), Subotica (Szabadka), Sentomaš (Szenttamás), Stari Futoš, Bela Crkva (Fehértemplom, Weißkirchen), Pančevo (Pancsova), Veliki Bečkerek (Nagybeckerek), Zagreb, Zemun (Zimony, Semlin), Mitrovica, Sremski Karlovci (Karlóca, Karlowitz), Temišvar (Timișoara, Temesvár, Temeswar), Osijek (Eszék, Esseg), Bosanski Petrovac, Velika Kikinda (Nagykikinda). The Women’s Society in Belgrade has sent a delegate. The text describes that on the day of the assembly, the guests from fourteen towns, the girls from the Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad, and their teachers formed a long line on the streets of Novi Sad on their way to the church. Afterwards, they went to a meeting at the seat of Matica Srpska (“matica,” or a foundation for the promotion of the national culture), the oldest cultural-scientific Serbian institution, founded in 1826 in Pest and moved to Novi Sad in 1864). Julka Radovanović, the principle of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad opened the assembly. Three presidents were elected (Julka Radovanović from Novi Sad, Milesa Ćurčinov from Pančevo, and Jelena Jovanović from Zageb), as well as several secretaries of the alliance. Isidora Sekulić (1877-1958), a writer and teacher, was one of these secretaries. On the occasion, the secretary of the Novi Sad cooperative Arkadije Varađanin held a speech, published in whole as part of the report summarized here. Some of the issues Varađanin mentions in his speech are: the “Ottoman force…extinguishing the political life” of Serbs; Serbian women transferring “the old fame and the ancient heroes” for four centuries; national singers who adopt the women’s songs and stories; Serbian women helping their “brothers”; the Charitable Cooperatives of Serbian Women cherishing the “flame of national patriotism.” The elected secretary from Zagreb, Milica Ćukov, also held a speech, mentioning that the Serbian people are endangered, especially the peasants who are “the main and the strongest foundation of our natural organism.” She calls for the cooperation and association of all Serbian people men and women. The article further discusses the clauses of the statute of the Alliance. On the evening the same day, there was a party during which Savka Subotić held a speech, in which she talked about her own initiative in 1864 to establish the first women’s association, when, so she describes the situation back then, many (mostly older) people negatively reacted to her idea. Subotić mentioned that among the first people who supported her initiative were Jovan Andrejević (1833-1864, a doctor, journalist and one of the founders of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad) and his wife Ilka Andrejević. Jelena Ilka (Andrejević) Marković was born in 1845 in the family Bajić in Sopron, Hungary. She lived with her first husband Jovan Andrejević in Novi Sad. After his early death, she married Jevrem Marković, brother of Svetozar Marković, and moved to Serbia. Close to the socialist, anarchist and feminist ideas of the 1860s and 1870s, Ilka Marković is known in the history of Serbia for attempting to assassinate the king of Serbia Milan Obrenović in 1882, shooting him in a church in Belgrade. She was found dead in prison in 1883. Subotić is especially thankful to Jovan and Ilka Andrejević.

TITLE: Savka Subotić: 1834-1904. DESCRIPTION: A celebratory biography of Savka Subotić (1834-1918), on the occasion of her 70th birthday and 50 years of public life. Subotić was active in the women's movement in the Vojvodina, and also in Serbia and internationally. 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. Subotić was educated in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Timișoara (Temesvár, Temeswar) and Vienna. Her main focus was the education of girls, especially Serbian girls; Subotić initiated the establishment of the first Serbian language high schools for girls, established in Novi Sad, Vojvodina and Pančevo (Pancsova), military frontier/Vojvodina in 1874 and in Sombor (Zombor), Vojvodina in 1875. See also, Milica Tomić, “Naše više devojačke škole [Our high schools for girls],” Žena, January 6, 1911; and “Srpska Viša Devojačka Škola u Novom Sadu [The Serbian High School for Girls in Novi Sad],” Ženski svet, August 1913. In addition, she was active in educating Serbian women in the countryside, and she created a program of economic development for women who lived in the villages by popularizing and building the handicraft industry of the time. In 1867, Subotić established a women’s organization in Novi Sad, which in documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina is regularly described as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad. Subotić was a respected member of the Serbian community, but also well known in Austria-Hungary and in the international women’s movement. See also, 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.); Savka Subotić, “Part IV [Part IV: On the Exhibition in Paris],” in O našim narodnim tkaninama i rukotvorinama [On Our National Textiles and Handicrafts] (Novi Sad, 1904), 79–95 (17pp.); and Savka Subotić, Žena na istoku i na zapadu [The woman in the East and in the West] (Novi Sad: Scientific Club, 1911). The biography 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. According to the article, the proof that the Serbian people had understood the importance of women’s education, one of the main questions of the nineteenth century, is the rising number of Serbian women’s schools in different places. Yet, the question remains how to make women’s education as relevant as possible for national purposes. Savka Subotić is then described as “a pioneer of women’s culture and progress” as she had started working publicly for the education of Serbian women fifty years earlier. As the text informs, the education of Serbian girls from more educated families either in German gymnasiums or by French gouvernants led to a more progressive attitude in the Serbian community, whereas the bad side of this kind of education was the loss of Serbian pride in the women educated in this way. Savka Subotić, after gaining her education in Novi Sad, Timisoara and Vienna, married a lawyer Jovan Subotić in 1851 and followed him through multiple cities of the Empire until his death in 1886. During these years, she was active in all the places she went to, pursuing intense conversation with Serbian women and trying to help them by sharing knowledge with them and by finding ways to make the women’s handicraft embroidery modern, popular and welcome on the European market. Savka Subotić was a very welcomed public speaker ever since the huge success on her first public speech in Zagreb during a teachers’ celebration in 1866. On this occasion, she received a certificate of recognition, which shows that “in those times there was a different spirit between Serbs and Croats,” which, “thank God,” adds the author, is returning again. Subotić was also appreciated by “the Germans,” as she held successful speeches about women’s issues in Vienna and Osijek (Eszék, Esseg). In the speeches, she argued for the merits of women in the progress of the nation. Her aim was different from what was going on in the West were women aspired “to political and social equality with men;” rather she always “emphasized the necessary education in the frames of the woman’s vocation in the home, nation and society.” She established the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad, but “the Catholics” took over the organization. Serbian women then created another association, the Women’s Committee (Ženski odbor), which functioned as a women’s charity organization until the establishment of the Charitable Cooperative of Serbian Women from Novi Sad (Dobrotvorna zadruga Srpkinja Novosatkinja) in 1880. Documents generated by the Serbian-speaking women’s movement in the Vojvodina regularly describe the organization established in 1867 as the first women’s cooperative in Novi Sad.
