Abstract / Summary

TITLE: Information: Journal of the Social Mission Society and the Cooperating Catholic Associations, Vol. 3, No. 5. DESCRIPTION: This journal issue is part of a selection of journals documenting the history of the Hungarian-speaking women’s movement in the Hungarian Kingdom in the Habsburg Monarchy. Értesítő [Information] was published from 1912 to 1914. All issues available in the Országos Széchényi Könyvtár [Hungarian National Library] are included in this digital archive. The journal was renamed A keresztény nő [The Christian Woman] in 1915 and published until after the end of the Habsburg Monarchy. The Social Mission Society, one of the most active and innovative organizations among the Catholic women’s groups, evolved in the years 1908-1910. Értesítő reported on the activities and the various institutions of the Social Mission Society, and the activities of other Catholic groups. The work of the Catholic organizations and groups focused on educational betterment and rescue (patronázs) work for girls in schools, prisons and other institutions, as well as social welfare work. The Social Mission Society began to engage in systematic training of its members for social work, contributing to the professionalization of social work in Hungary. Értesítő regularly reported on the National Catholic Association for the Protection of Women (Országos Kath. Nővédő Egyesület), and the National Catholic Women’s Association for Betterment and Rescue Work (Országos Kath. Női Patronage-Egyesület). Értesítő also published poems, songs, and edifying literature, as well as more general writings, often by important Catholic authorities, on Catholic social thinking in relation to various social and spiritual agendas. The journal constitutes a key source of information on the Catholic women’s movement in Hungary and its international context.
