The volume Transnational Identities of Women Writers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire brings together contributions of researchers from regions or countries that belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire or had strong connections to it, as a result of the observation that there are very few research results for these regions as it concerns the aspects of literary activity of numerous women writers, journalists, activists or feminism supporters. The present volume aims at (re)discovering women writers in the multicultural society of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, while triggering connections to the different nationalities under its rule. The articles compiled in this volume are concerned with the question in how far various feminist and cultural studies theories can be applied to Austro-Hungarian literature and culture around 1900. It is important to explain that the context of this special volume deals with the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, i.e. with the period of dualism from 1867 to 1918 and farther. A special place within this volume is held by Gender Studies and the women’s literary life in important cities of the empire. Therefore, the main sources of research are literary and arts books, studies, magazines and supplements as well as women’s journals of that period. Theorizing a historical stage of the feminist movement implies difficulties that do not exist to this extent when dealing with contemporary phenomena.
