Time: 11.04.2024, 18:00 Uhr
Venue: Frauenbildungsstätte Frauenhetz, Untere Weißgerberstr. 41, 1030 Wien – and virtual space

The presentation focuses on peasant women’s labour activism, which arose in the so-called „Stormy Corner“ in the southeastern part of the Habsburg Empire in the 1890s. The region was known for its repeated harvesters‘ strikes and peasant uprisings and became one of the first centers of agrarian socialist organizing in Hungary. By engaging in the inclusive aspects of peasant women’s labour activism and participation in the agrarian socialist movement in the Eastern European countryside, the presentation offers new insights into a yet little explored part of the history of women’s social movements.
