Very rare Hungarian feminist periodical. Rosika Schwimmer ( 1877 1948) was a Hungarian-born pacifist, feminist, world federalist, and women's suffragist. A co-founder of the Campaign for World Government with Lola Maverick Lloyd, her radical vision of world peace led to the creation of the World Federalist Movement, the first such federalist organization of the 20th century. Schwimmer came into contact with members of the international women's suffrage movement and by 1904 became involved in the struggle. She co-founded the first national women's labor umbrella organization in Hungary and the Hungarian Feminist Association. She also assisted in organizing the Seventh Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, hosted in Budapest in 1913. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Gut. Leinenband, Block unbeschnitten, 228 Seiten, wunderschöne Illustrationen.

First edition of this enchanting work of Hungarian folklore. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles and detailing to the spine and front panel, pictorial endpapers, frontispiece with an additional illustrated title page, illustrated with color plates and black and white plates by Willy Pogány. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt for her White House Juvenile Library with admiration for her activities on behalf of children Rosika Schwimmer March 1933." The recipient, Eleanor Roosevelt was a political figure, diplomat, and activist. She was the longest-servingÂfirst lady of the United States, during her husbandÂFranklin D. Rooseveltâs four terms as president from 1933 to 1945.ÂThrough her travels, public engagement, and advocacy, she largely redefined the role. Widowed in 1945, she served as aÂUnited States Delegate to the United Nations General AssemblyÂfrom 1945 to 1952, and took a leading role in designing the text and gaining international support for theÂUniversal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1948, she was given a standing ovation by the assembly upon their adoption of the declaration.ÂPresident Harry S. Truman later called her the âFirst Lady of the Worldâ in tribute to her human rights achievements. In very good condition with light rubbing. Rosika Schwimmer was a pioneering Hungarian feminist, pacifist, and suffragist who played a significant role in early 20th-century international peace movements. Born in 1877, she was an outspoken advocate for women's rights and world peace, co-founding organizations such as the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Schwimmer became the world's first female ambassador when she was appointed to represent Hungary in Switzerland in 1918. While she is best known for her activism, The Tisza Tales demonstrates her literary contributions and her efforts to connect Hungarian traditions with broader audiences. Rooted in Hungarian folklore, the tales reflect Schwimmer's interest in cultural preservation and her commitment to promoting social values through literature.…

Unbound. Condizione: Fine. First Edition. First edition. One quarto sheet measuring approximately 8½" 10¼", printed recto only. Trimmed a bit close at the bottom edge else a fine copy of a rather delicate handbill signed in type by Jacobs, Macmillan, Schwimmer, Balch, and Addams as representatives of Holland, Great Britain, Austro-Hungary, and The United States, respectively. A manifesto articulating the results of the May 1915 International Congress of Women held in the Hague, as well as subsequent discussions held in various national capitals. The manifesto argues powerfully for peace, and a "conference of neutral nations as an agency of continuous mediation for the settlement of the war." "As women, it was possible for us, from belligerent and neutral nations alike, to meet in the midst of war and to carry forward an interchange of question and answer between capitals which were barred to each other. It is now our duty to make articulate our convictions." The manifesto closes with a call to action: "The excruciating burden of responsibility for the hopeless continuance of this war no longer rests on the will of the belligerent nations alone. It rests also on the will of those neutral governments and people who have been spared its shock but cannot, if they would, absolve themselves from their full share of responsibility for the continuance of war." An interesting document, authored in part by two future Nobel laureates. Jane Addams would win the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize (along with Nicholas Murray Butler), and Emily Greene Balch would win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946 (along with John Raleigh Mott). *OCLC* locates a single copy of this manifesto, at the Peace Palace Library in the Netherlands.…

Condizione: Good. - A one-and-a-quarter page letter with over 325 words typed on 2 sides of her 11 inch high by 8-3/8 inch wide light blue "4740 Dorchester Ave., Chicago" stationery. In her letter to the American lecture agent James B. Pond, the noted feminist & pacifist Rosika Schwimmer outlines her intention to offer a lecture on Henry Ford's role in the Peace Ship expedition she led in the early years of the First World War, a timely subject as Henry Ford was then campaigning for the Presidency. "Though numbers of Ford biographies and articles have been poured out, none of them contains more than a hint about his peace efforts in 1915 (Peace Ship and Neutral Conference)." She goes on to explain that she is not proposing to "make a propaganda speech for or against him, but merely to give the facts about a highly picturesque venture. It certainly would help the public to make up its mind what attitude to take in Ford's coming presidential campaign." Schwimmer also tells Pond about the subjects of other lectures she can offer, listing 6 of them. Boldly signed in full on the verso, with a couple of corrections in her hand. Folded for mailing with a few short tears to the bottom and to the edges of the folds, reinforced with clear archival document tape from the verso. There is a horizontal crease along the top with a perforation to the top left. The Hungarian-born leader in the international pacifist and feminist movements, Rosika Schwimmer (1877-1948) was a leading advocate of women's rights in Hungary. Schwimmer campaigned against child labor and for marriage reform and birth control. Her Hungarian Feminist Association succeeded in passing woman suffrage laws in 1920 Hungary. Living in London when the First World War was declared, she traveled to the United States to convince President Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan to sponsor a neutral mediation conference. Unsuccessful, she traveled the US speaking to a wide range of constituencies, including feminist and Jewish groups. Creating the Women's Peace Party, she convinced Henry Ford to sponsor a Neutral Mediation Conference in Stockholm. Setting off on the Oscar II, which became known as the Peace Ship, the American delegation was ridiculed by the press and suffered several setbacks. Several delegates resented Schwimmer's overbearing authoritative approach and supposed financial mismanagement and Henry Ford withdrew his support. She served as Hungary's minister to Switzerland during its brief existence as a democracy but fled after Bela Kun's communist party took over. Returning to the United States in 1921, she was shunned by those who had once supported her and had difficulty obtaining speaking engagements. A Chicago federal district court denied her application for American citizenship as she would not "bear arms in defense of the country" due to her pacifist convictions and because she was an advocate for a form of World government. The district court decision was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court but with a dissent from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. The first reason for denying her citizenship is laughable considering her advancing age and that women were not then expected to serve in combat. She remained in the US as a resident alien until her death and was awarded a privately sponsored World Peace Prize and subsequently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1948.…
