EN
Barbora Hoblová was an outstanding personality of Mladá Boleslav region at the turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries. She worked in the social field, ethnography and in women’s movement. Here, among others, she contributed to female education. She was born in 1852 in Nymburk. When she was twenty years old, she inspired the foundation of women’s reading society Lada where she worked until she got married. Then she moved with her husband, a high school teacher, to Mladá Boleslav. She was not active in the first years spent in this town, only in mid 1880’s she got involved in ethnography and a few years later she was one of the founders of the Ladies and Girls Association in Mladá Boleslav where she worked until her death. Thanks to her activity, many needed facilities were established: nursery, shelter for unemployed women and girls, evening school of sewing, etc. She also took part in collecting ethnographic material for the Czechoslavic Ethnographical Exhibition in 1895, for which she was highly praised and which brought her to attention. Many times she proved in her numerous studies published in Český lid that she became a true expert on her region. She proved that Mladá Boleslav region was not ethnographically uninteresting, as many people assumed, but that it had not been discovered yet. She was interested in cultural and social life until her last days, she died in her family circle on August 15, 1923 in Kokořín.

Housework has always been one of the main issues of feminist debates. The aim of the article is to show how the housewife became the subject of political debate. The article focuses on the feminist and political discourse surrounding household chores in post-war Czechoslovakia (1945–1947). Drawing on an analysis of the journal Our Household (Naše domácnost) and discussions in parliament, we argue that after WWII the women’s movement and the National Socialists called for the recognition of domestic work as equal to occupations outside the home. This article contributes to the debates about the recognition of housework by showing how the issue of housework was addressed in a particular period of Czech history and what strategies were employed to improve the representation of household chores and the position of housewives in society

At the beginning of the 20th century, the women’s movement in Germany was already well-organized, with its postulates winning increasing public support. Long years of work by multiple organizations led to a wide debate on those postulates and they appeared on the pages of commercial magazines. The article presents an analysis of materials from the periodical „Breslauer Hausfrau” [„The Wrocław Housewife”], which started to operate in autumn 1903 and was successful on a demanding publishing market. The women’s movement, its goals and activities are presented to readers from a local and a regional perspective, one very close to them. Due to the effort and involvement of the editorial office in Wrocław, besides interesting recaps of the large conventions and congresses of women’s organizations held in Wrocław at the beginning of the 20th century, the discussed women’s weekly also included more exclusive information on the hard, day-to-day work of Silesian women’s organizations.

A number of papers looking at specific aspects of the Czech women’s movement touch upon the political dimension of the Czech women’s movement prior to 1914. They do not, however, look in detail at the efforts of Anglo-Saxon women to gain political rights as reflected in Czech women’s magazines which fairly regularly brought reports on the women’s movement abroad, especially regarding political aspects, beginning in the 1890s. With increasing efforts to achieve women’s suffrage abroad, contracts grew up between the Czech movement and those abroad. There was ever more information on the situation in Britain and the USA in particular due to the long tradition of women’s efforts there to achieve their political rights. The reports were not just admiring in nature, but also critical, so the extent of their impact on the Czech movement is hard to determine. What is clear is that information from abroad contributed to a feeling of wider solidarity, leading to

This paper presents an outline of development of the emancipation movement in the territory of present-day Ukraine from the last third of the nineteenth century to the end of the 1930s (when the Sovietization of Ukraine culminates), the development of women’s self-awareness, and the increasing presence of women in Ukrainian public life – and its influence on dissemination of women’s official and managerial names in Ukrainian press releases. It focuses mainly on the research of feminist ideas and the nature of their spreading in various regions of western Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s which, in this period, were part of different state arrangements (Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia) compared to the Soviet Ukraine; the role of women’s organizations in shaping women’s public awareness and public opinion of a woman as a full-fledged active person, and the role of periodicals in this process. Explored are the changes in the position of women in western Ukraine, reflection on the processes of feminization of society in the dynamics of the female lexicon at the beginning of the twentieth century. The problems of women’s emancipation in Ukrainian society are observed against the background of intensifying feminization processes in the West Ukrainian version of the Ukrainian language in the 1920s–1930s. The research material consisted of the texts of the West Ukrainian press releases from the 1920s and 1930s. The material used for illustration testifies to the spheres and facts of functioning of the then established, as well as newly created language designations of the female person, especially the official and managerial names in the language of West Ukrainian periodicals.

Jak zmieniał się ruch kobiecy w Polsce po 1945 r.? Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, jakie były cele ruchu kobiecego po II wojnie światowej oraz jakie strategie wybierały działaczki kobiece, wdrażając plany emancypacyjne. Argumentuję w nim, że „produktywizacja” kobiet, upolitycznienie ruchu kobiecego, a także jego umasowienie stanowiły główne osie działania ruchu kobiecego po 1945 r. Jednocześnie cele i strategie emancypacyjne realizowane w powojennej Polsce były zbieżne zarówno z działaniami podejmowanymi na Zachodzie, jak i tymi w ramach instytucji międzynarodowych (np. Światowej Demokratycznej Federacji Kobiet).

In what way did women’s movement in Poland develop after 1945? This article is an attempt to answer the question on what the goals of women’s movement after World War II were, and what strategies were chosen to fulfill emancipatory agendas after 1945. I argue that women’s productivisition, along with politicisation of women’s movement and an attempt to build a massive women’s organisation were the main axes of the women’s movement policy after 1945. These goals and strategies were coherent with activities carried in the West and by international organisations (Women’s International Democratic Federation).

In this article, the example of a child of the ’68 generation, in this case Jo, a protagonist in „The Pollenroom” by the Swiss author Zoë Jenny, serves to illustrate the conflict between the ’85 generation and the ’68 generation and its serious consequences, which concern the urge of freedom, the ideals, the anti-authoritarian view of life, women´s movement as well as the overcoming and disintegration of traditional conventions and structures of society. The characteristic traits of the ’68 generation have fatal repercussions for its descendants. The author seeks to show how difficult it could be to live in this estranged world and find oneself for a child abandoned by its parents who pursued their ideals and the fulfilment of their dreams.

The following text is a fragment of the dialogue between Inga Iwasiów and Agnieszka Graff about the book Graff. Jestem stąd [Graff. I am from here]. The conversation took place on 5 December 2014 at the Helena Radlińska Pedagogical Library in Szczecin. The main topics discussed are women’s autobiographical gesture and its ‘audacity’ and the author’s process of coming to feminist consciousness during her studies in the USA. The dialogue also concerns individual and collective aspects of autobiography, different approaches to education and the canon, and the ways these affect intellectual choices and attitudes.

W artykule skupię się na tym, jak w „Tygodniku Mód i Powieści” przedstawiano Amerykanki i ich walkę o równouprawnienie. Przeanalizuję artykuły zamieszczone w nim w latach 1860–1915, czyli od przejęcia pisma przez Jana Kantego Gregorowicza do końca jego istnienia. W drugiej połowie XIX w. prasa coraz częściej pisała o kobietach i sprawach im bliskich. Miało to niewątpliwie związek ze wzrostem ich aktywności i rozwojem ruchu emancypacyjnego. Amerykanki odegrały pod tym względem niebagatelną rolę, walcząc o przyznanie im praw w różnych sferach życia. Kwestia równouprawnienia była aktualna również na ziemiach polskich. Ówcześni publicyści dostrzegali potrzebę edukacji kobiet, a szczególnie praktycznego ich kształcenia oraz konieczność podjęcia przez nie pracy zawodowej. W „Tygodniku Mód i Powieści” zamieszczono wybiórcze informacje o: rozwoju ruchu kobiecego w USA, walce Amerykanek o przyznanie im praw politycznych, edukacji kobiet, podejmowaniu przez nie pracy w zawodach zarezerwowanych wcześniej dla mężczyzn oraz zaangażowaniu w tworzenie klubów kobiecych. Wiele amerykańskich inicjatyw nie spotkało się z aprobatą redaktorów tygodnika. Wielokrotnie postulowali oni o nieprzenoszenie ich na grunt polski, chociaż dostrzegano potrzebę zmian i ustępstw w niektórych dziedzinach życia.

In the article, I will focus on the question how American women and their struggle for gender equality were presented in “Tygodnik Mód i Powieści” [“Weekly of Fashion and Novels”]. I will analyse articles posted to the magazine in the years 1860–1915, i.e. since its takeover by Gregorowicz until the end of its existence. In the second half of the 19th century, the press more and more frequently wrote about women and the issues concerning them. This was undoubtedly related to the increase in women’s activity and the development of the emancipation movement. American women, fighting for their rights in various spheres of life, played a significant role in this respect. The issue of gender equality was also valid in Poland. Contemporary publicists noticed the need of women's education, especially – practical education and the necessity of taking up professional work by women. “Tygodnik Mód i Powieści” selectively informed about: the development of women’s movement in the USA, American women’s fight for political rights, women’s education, taking up jobs in professions previously reserved for men and involvement in creating women’s clubs. Many American initiatives were not approved by the weekly’s editors, who insisted that they should not be transferred to Poland. Yet, the need for changes and concessions in some areas of life was recognized.
