Abstract / Summary

TITLE: Archduke Franz Ferdinand. DESCRIPTION: The women’s journal Živena, founded in 1910, was connected to the Slovak women’s association Živena and edited by its chairwoman Elena Maróthy-Šoltésová (1855-1939), Slovak writer, editor and publicist and a leading figure of Slovak women’s activism. The article was published in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand d’Este and his wife, Sofia, by the hand of a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo. The incident was the last spark to ignite the Great War in July 1914. The article describes Franz Ferdinand as an exemplary just and moral man in whom, as the heir to the throne, the hopes of wronged people lay. According to the article, Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sofia, led a beautiful life full of love, and they went together also into the eternity, leaving crowds in their heart-breaking grief.
