Shifting Voices

Feminist Th ought and Women's Writing

in Fin-de-Sičcle Austria and Hungary

Agatha Schwartz

A comparative feminist study of German-Austrian and

Hungarian women's literary contributions in the fi n-de-sičcle.

Previous scholarly attention to Hapsburg culture has

emphasized its German-centred aspects. Shifting

Voices brings a new focus to the Hapsburg Empire's rich

Hungarian component through a comparative feminist

analysis of women's literary contributions in Austria and

in Hungary.

Th e organized women's movement in Austria-Hungary

became increasingly important with the rise of modernism

and feminist concerns ranging from women's legal

and political rights, access to education, professional opportunities,

economic independence, and sexual freedom

found expression in print. Agatha Schwartz analyses the connections between the women's movements

and women's writing in Austria and Hungary to explore some diff erences between works written

in Austria and those coming from Hungary, whose urban culture was younger. She provides critiques of

major works of fi ction and theory by authors such as Rosa Mayreder, Grete Meisel-Hess, Margit Kaff ka

and Szikra.

Agatha Schwartz is associate professor, German, University of Ottawa, and co-editor of Th e Th ird

Shore: Women's Prose from East-Central Europe.
