- 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.
